💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🪴💡 Researchers in #Germany tested how different types of artificial #light affect #nocturnal #insects at railway platforms.
They found that amber 1800K #LED lights, which lack blue light wavelengths, attracted far fewer insects than cool white LEDs or high-pressure sodium lamps. The #darksky reserve where the #study took place has already switched all its platform lights to the insect friendlier option.
