Scientific Prevention and Control | NATIONSTAR Launches New Mosquito Prevention and Control Solutions

Recently, the ongoing chikungunya fever epidemic has continued to attract public attention, making the prevention and control of mosquito-borne infectious diseases an important task in urban governance. As an innovator in the LED packaging sector, NATIONSTAR, fully practicing the FAITH business philosophy of Guangsheng Holding Group, has launched an innovative LED technical solution applicable to mosquito killers and other scenarios. With green, safe and efficient LED technology, the company helps prevent mosquitoes and fight epidemics in public areas and households.

1. Protection by Light Source, The Underlying Logic of LED Mosquito Attraction and Repulsion

Chikungunya fever is an acute infectious disease caused by the chikungunya virus, mainly transmitted by Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti. Mosquitoes generally exhibit phototaxis and photophobia, with significant differences in their sensitivity to light sources of different wavelengths, providing an opportunity for the application of LED technology. By regulating light in specific wavebands, precise mosquito attraction and repulsion can be achieved.

Relevant studies have confirmed that Aedes albopictus is highly repelled by ultraviolet light and sensitive to light at wavelengths of 365nm–395nm, which can be used for effective trapping. In contrast, Aedes aegypti shows a repellent response to this waveband. Meanwhile, light at 580nm–600nm repels both Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti.

Therefore, LED spectrum-based mosquito attraction and repulsion technology can reduce the population of vector mosquitoes such as Aedes albopictus, lower the risk of mosquito bites, and further help prevent the transmission of chikungunya fever and dengue fever.

2. Technological Self-Reliance, NATIONSTAR's Solution for Precise Mosquito Attraction and Repulsion

Based on the sensitivity characteristics of mosquitoes to light sources of different wavebands, NATIONSTAR has independently developed the 2835UV series and 2835 golden yellow light series products for use in mosquito killers and other devices, providing strong LED technical support for the prevention and control of mosquito-borne infections.

▋ Excellent performance: Packaged with a heat sink and special UV-resistant silicone lens, the light source is concentrated, the photoelectric conversion efficiency is close to 50%, with high light output, wide coverage and strong effect in mosquito attraction and repulsion.

▋ High efficiency and stability: Supports instant startup of lamps (no preheating required), L70 lifespan reaches 25,000 hours, with remarkable cost performance in medium and low power applications.

2835 Golden Yellow Light Series Products

NATIONSTAR 2835 Golden Yellow Light Series

▋ Precise mosquito repellent: Adopting special spectrum tuning technology with a wavelength of 550nm-600nm, it matches the photophobic characteristics of mosquitoes to achieve efficient repellency.

▋ Safe and compliant: Low blue light intensity, in line with photobiological safety standards, ensuring safe use for humans and pets, suitable for long-term application in households, offices and other scenarios.

▋ Intelligent regulation: Can be used with the 2835UV series to realize dual-band output of 365nm-395nm and 550nm-600nm through the intelligent regulation mode of lamps, enhancing the overall effect of mosquito attraction and repellency.

In addition, in the chip field, Nationstar Semiconductor, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NATIONSTAR, has developed the V1313U1 series and U1030 series LED chip products suitable for mosquito killers. The spectrum of these series covers the 365nm-400nm waveband, enabling efficient trapping of mosquitoes.

V1313U1 Series and U1030 Series LED Chip Products

Relying on its vertical industrial chain advantages, NATIONSTAR can provide integrated technical solutions from chips to devices for terminal applications. At present, the company's related products for mosquito killers have been successfully introduced into the supply chain and won wide recognition from customers for their superior performance.

3. Winning through Innovation, Autonomous and Controllable Core Technologies

In recent years, focusing on the needs of public health, household disinfection and other scenarios, NATIONSTAR has actively expanded the application of UV LED products and formed a product matrix with different powers, wavebands and packaging forms.

In terms of patent layout, NATIONSTAR has filed more than 40 patents in the UV LED field, including over 30 authorized patents, covering core technical links such as chip design, packaging technology and optical optimization, laying a solid foundation for the industrial application and continuous iteration of UV LED technology.

Guard a Better Future

The prevalence of chikungunya fever has once again alerted humanity to the importance of health. Going forward, NATIONSTAR will continue to thoroughly practice the FAITH business philosophy, focus on its main business, deepen technological research and development, and refine its products, contributing more NATIONSTAR strength to guarding a better future for human health.
