  • Anti-bug globe
    Publication number: 20020005006
    Abstract: An improved lantern globe infused an amber dye which blocks the visual spectrum of light an insect can see without diminishing the spectrum of light a human can see. The dye is infused into pyrex glass at approximately a 1200 F. temperature and permanently binds the expanded glass molecules to the dye. This makes the glass stronger and prevents the dye from being burned or scratched off and makes breakage less frequent. The resulting tint, after the glass is cooled, is transparent not translucent. This allows the full spectrum of light visible to humans to pass through the globe undiminished and provide a dramatically bright light source. The use of the globe replaces the need for costly and dangerous bug-repellent chemicals.
