Bug lights, although most of us want to avoid attracting insects to our light bulbs for mostly selfish reasons (insects = annoying).
Overall, incandescent light bulbs pulled in the highest number of insects, followed by CFL, halogen globes, and cool-colored LEDs. The second best light was the ‘bug light’, and the winner, with the least amount of insects attracted, was the warm LED bulb.
So for now, stick to warm-colored LED bulbs to light your garden or porch this summer. Not only will it reduce the amount of insects hanging around, it’s also a lot better for the environment than traditional globes.
