Reducing the fatal attraction of nocturnal insects using tailored and shielded road lights

Manuel Dietenberger; Andreas Jechow; Gregor Kalinkat; Sibylle Schroer; Birte Saathoff; Franz Hölker

In a transdisciplinary study, a research team led by IGB has developed insect-friendly street lighting and tested it in the Dark Sky Reserve Westhavelland as well as in three German municipalities. Tailored and shielded street lamps make the light source almost invisible outside the illuminated area and significantly reduces the lethal attraction for flying insects in different environments.
