After doing some tests last year and talking to several myrmecologists, I came to conclusion which wavelength is around best range and purchased high quality 50W LED and driver. I have installed it and tweaked the previous design a bunch. Current pictures don't reflect the latest version with Al. tape used for UV reflection. I will add more pictures when I can to show more or less the completed design 2.0.

Updated with latest images with new Al. tape reflector. Much more brighter.
