The spectral composition of a white light influences its attractiveness to Culex pipiens mosquitoes
Culex pipiens mosquitoes do not find all white lights equally attractive. White light created by combining red, green, and blue (RGB) LEDs is less attractive than broad‐spectrum white light. Abstract Insect attraction to artificial light can potentially facilitate disease transmission by increasing contact between humans and vectors.
