Anti-mosquito bulbs and lamps for frugos
A few years ago, Philips, a well-known brand in the electricity sector, manufactured a light bulb with an LED light capable of repelling mosquitoes and promising happy summer evenings, but it turned out that this technology was not very efficient, so they had to come up with a new method. This is when ultraviolet bulbs and lamps were born.
The ultraviolet light attracts mosquitoes and is able to modify their cellular composition until the "pleasant" buzzing stops.
