Recently, Associate Professor University of Malaysia Chong Wen Tong led the research team developed a hybrid energy outdoor LED lights, the most amazing is said to subsection led outdoor lights can imitate human odor to trap mosquitoes.
According to Asia Research News, Chong Wen Tong, an associate professor at the University of Malaysia's School of Engineering and Mechanics, developed an LED outdoor streetlight with a built-in mosquito trap to prevent the spread of dengue virus in Malaysian mosquito-borne diseases. Capable of charging through solar cells and wind energy systems.
“The mosquito traps trap mosquitoes by mimicking human-related odors and making full use of the sensory capabilities of mosquitoes.†The Guardian quoted Chong Wen Tong as saying.
In view of the fact that mosquitoes are easily attracted by UV lamps, a UV lamp and suction fan are integrated into the system. The UV lamp reacts with titanium dioxide (TiO2) coated on the trap lamp to produce human exhaled carbon dioxide by photocatalytic reaction. Due to the vacuum created by the fan, the trapped mosquito is sucked to the bottom by the fan and cannot escape.
In addition, to prevent shadowing and optimize energy harvesting, photovoltaic panels are typically placed on top of the system. While the vertical axis is the Omnidirectional Guide Vane (ODGV), the wind power increase system creates a contraction effect to increase the wind speed.
Since the wiring is placed on top of the lamp, it can also be applied to flood-prone areas.
According to the Guardian, as part of the pilot project, eight LED streetlights have been installed on the campus of the University of Malaya and Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. The first version of this LED mosquito trap has been prepared for commercialization, and the research team has signed a licensing agreement with a private company.

According to statistics compiled by the World Health Organization (WHO), dengue cases have risen by 19% in 2015, with more than 96,000 reported cases.
According to the Malay Post, the number of deaths from dengue fever increased to 282 in January-November 2015, compared with 162 deaths in dengue fever in the same period in 2014.
