Insecticidal lamps are devices that kill insects. They are widely used in agriculture, greenhouses and other areas where insects grow. Using insecticidal lamps can reduce the use of chemical pesticides and help protect the environment.
Solar insecticidal lamp is a type of insecticide lamp which uses solar energy to power the device. The lamps are mainly used in aquaculture and agriculture. Its main feature is that it can store solar energy during the day and discharge it at night.
Traditional light sources have low electrical-optical efficiency and spectral power distribution. This limits the performance of traditional light-based insecticide lamps.
LEDs can increase the effectiveness of an insecticidal lamp up to 1.2 times. However, LEDs also have some drawbacks. Some of these include reduced reliability and soaring costs. As a result, researchers have conducted studies to optimize the overall performance of the LED system.
Insecticidal lamps are becoming more common in modern agriculture. A variety of insecticide lamps are being modified with LEDs.
With the development of LED-based insecticide lamps, green agriculture will be better. For instance, the energy-saving effects of an LED-based lamp can reduce the use of energy by 85%. Moreover, the use of LEDs can decrease the amount of flammable material in an environment.
