Design of a smart LED lamp to monitor insect populations in an integrated pest management approach

ABSTRACT This study aimed to present the design and field test results of an LED (light emitting diode) lamp for integrated pest management (IPM) other entomological studies. The light spectrum LEDs was tuned optimize insect attraction lower energy consumption. An electronic circuit with control software lamp, enabling it operate in standalone mode, automatically identify night day, monitor battery charge from a photovoltaic solar panel, protect against over-discharge, provide feedback about operating status system. Additionally, consumption is five times than that fluorescent reducing panel size needed its supply. In 2017/2018 growing season, smart installed Sonne trap irrigated rice field, total number insects captured compared collected conventional fitted traditional 15 W black lamp. Total captures were approximately three greater
