Firefly luminescence principle inspired the development of efficient LED lamps

The inspiration for this more efficient light source comes from the discovery of the zigzag scales inside the fireflies, which enhance the luminous effect of this creature. A layer of covering on the LED lamp simulates the function of this scale and reduces the energy required by the LED lamp.

The photosensitive material coating on the LED lamp simulates the function of firefly scales, improving energy efficiency and reducing the energy required for light.

Annick Bay, a doctor of philosophy at the University of Namur in Belgium, said: "The most important direction of this research is that it shows how much we can learn by carefully observing nature." The cuticle of its shell is reflected back into the lantern. But in some fireflies, this reflection can be reduced due to the arrangement of jagged scales, which means that more light overflows and makes the fireflies look brighter.

A layer of light-sensitive material on the LED lamp simulates the function of firefly scales, which not only improves energy efficiency but also reduces the energy required for illumination. Annick Bay said: "We refer to the structure of the edge of the roof of the factory, because the top of the scales is protruding and a little inclined, a bit like the roof of the factory." In addition, there is an additional benefit. Used in current LED lights.
