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: 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

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.
Picture
Picture
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.

Products are currently being shipped from China or USA, depending on the stock availability.
Shipping cost is fixed regardless where the product is shipped from.

Hello.
I want to build a 120cm * 80cm * 120cm size plywood box as a bsf mating space. I prefer plywood as temp and humidity are maintained easyer in a closed box. What do you think about such a mating box? Which lamp would you recommend for me to use? What day/night cycle should I use?
Thanks in advance.

I ordered 150W. It is very good. After few minutes (temp. 28 C) flies goes crazy. After few days I had a lot of eggs than larvas - not possible with normal lights for reptils that I used before. The lamp is still working after few months of 8/24 h cycle. I will order more but looking for discount :)
Thank You, great job!

I am from Indian state Manipur. I am currently in active business in BSF farming in a small scale size. But, due to bad environment conditions my production can't regularize. I need to implement approved lighting technology in the production to regularized my product and expansion of the business. Therefore, kindly suggest and guide me in getting the right lighting system according to my need and affordable budget. According to my country's new laws of import it's not possible for me or any poor farmer to order any equipment from outside India specially from China. Bcoz, the costing of transport/courier with costume taxes will double the price of the particular item we want to purchase. Therefore, as per this law i prefer to import my order through USA. If you have any good suggestion for me to any light products preferable from within my country (India) than that will be my best and find.

with due regards
