LED insects
  1. LEDs don’t attract as many insects as other traditional light sources as they have very little UV content
  2. Good quality LEDs can easily have a lifetime which exceeds 50,000 hours
  3. Blue LEDs can help keep food fresh – they have been proved to have a strong antibacterial effect on major foodborne pathogens, and are now being used in fridges.
  4. LEDs are great for horticulture – deep blue (450nm) and hyper red (660nm) provide the light for photosynthesis, and far red (730nm) controls the plant from germination to vegetative growth and flowering.
