Summary 1: HOW LED BULBS COULD FIGHT DISEASE (doi
:10.1098/rstb.2014.0125)
In this article the effect of customizable LED lights on flies has been discussed. There
are many flies and insects, which are drawn towards the light, especially at night. Therefore,
it could be stated that light bulbs are the potential inhibitors to the flies and related diseases
related to the order Diptera where the different categories of flies belong. The different types
of light bulbs can influence and elevated the risk of catching vector borne diseases.
Sand flies which is one of the Diptera flies, are as well drawn towards the emitting
light bulbs. The Sand flies are the carriers of protozoan. The mosquitos who belong to this
order are also attracted to the lights. In a study that was published by the Philosophical
Transaction of the Royal Society B, that the brightness of the bulb is not the factor that
matters in this situation, but the type of the wavelength that LED bulbs which attract different
types of flies that could lead to different types of diseases and could also affect the circadian
rhythm of human beings. To minimize the effects, former students from UCLA under Prof.
Longcore along with Phillips Research in Netherlands have created special bulbs that could
release customizable emission of wavelengths of different colours. colour parasites, which
are responsible for 20,000 deaths worldwide on the annual basis.
Over a month the Longcore and his team around Los Angeles, collected insects over
5579 in the soapy pan trap. All of all the insects the order Diptera represented around 67.5
per cent of all the insects that that were caught. This has been considered to be a good sample
size, that could have greater effect to improve the public health when it comes the disease
spread by the Diptera flies. The results proved that the customizable LED lights were not
only brighter but drew approximately 20% fewer flies and insects.
