Black Soldier Fly Breeding LED

After few years of research on this topic and 6 months of product development, we now can proudly bring to you the most energy efficient black soldier fly breeding light product developed by EVO BSF Consortium. It has been tested within the consortium as well as by some non-member associates, and we have confirmed this product is effective to all populations we tested. Now we are more than happy to share this knowledge and product with you.

Tested country: China. Testing in a greenhouse environment served as supplemental light source. It was tested while cloudy outside the whole day, and no mating occurred in the cages. The cages were aligned in this way to see how far away the scattered light can take effect. This tested prototype is 100W and can stimulate mating in the furthest cage which is 2.5meter away.

Tested country: China. Tested for scattered lights effectiveness, successfully stimulated mating pairs. Credit to: Yu, GH

Tested country: South Korea. Egg collection from a 1.2x1.2x2.4m cage with 150-watt version LED. Hatching rate recorded at 84%. Credit to: Jason

Tested Country: Italy. Tested with prototype 150W LED resulted in a highest record today for a 1x1x2m cage--18.6 gram eggs in a single day. Credit to: Marco M.

It's sophisticated product that has passed many certification tests.

Tested country: New Zealand. A 20-watt version was tested in dark room served as sole light source to stimulate mating for lab scale black soldier fly colony maintenance. The bugdorm was 35cm cube, populated with 12 females and 17 males. 10 clusters of eggs were collected at the end, and all of them were fertilized. Credit to: Liu, ZY

Tested country: New Zealand. Testing with 50-watt version of the breeding LED. The 50-watt LED can illuminate from an up to 1 meter high cage. Credit to: Liu, ZY

Tested country: South Korea. Complete indoor breeding without any sunlight. 26 mating pairs in the picture.

Tested country: China. Every LED was tested for 24 hrs prior to distribution for quality insurance. Credit to: Kevin L.

Although appears as blue dominated, this artificial breeding light source is actually a mixture of couple key colors that's not only responsible for adult visions, but also for higher egg fertilization rate.

The 1000-Watt quartz iodine lamp (QIL) is the most prevalently used light source in the breeding industry today, and it can be replaced by a 150-Watt of our breeding LED. We can compare the operational cost of using each product considering both the cost of the lamp itself as well as the electricity consumption. 1000-Watt QIL is widely available at USD$10 each piece, and each lamp can last effective up to 6 months. Our 150-Watt LED is costing $390, and can last effective up to 2 years. Considering the electricity cost $0.15 USD per kWh (could be higher in many countries), and running lights 8 hrs per day, both lights will cost pretty much the same after first year. Going into the second year, however, the LED will save 40% over the whole time because only need to invest in the lamp once.

This is just a comparison on the cost side. If considering the LED is safer to operate, and can induce more egg fertilization, the benefits of using our LED could be even more.

However, it should be noted that light source is just one factor contributing to breeding success, and there are many other factors that's more or less important, such as temperature, humidity, and pupa quality, etc.
