EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT BUG LIGHTS-Humans often prefer yellowish light (also known as warm white or 2700k color temperature) for reading, living rooms, or bedrooms because it provides more contrast. For garages or yards, humans like bluish-white light (also known as cool white, daylight, or 5000k) because it is very bright and far reaching. The lack of contrast it provides however is harsh and prevents us from seeing detail, which can be very unpleasant. People also use bulbs in-between these two extremes. This all is interesting but not very relevant to what attracts bugs.-First, bugs like light, period. Moths, stink bugs, flies, beetles, and crawlers obsession for lights often drives them to exhaustion. The less bright, the better. A string of many tiny lights is much less attractive to bugs than a single bright light. Heat also attracts more bugs so LED bulbs are better if they don’t heat up (and the cheaper LED bulbs also do unfortunately).-Second, different bugs are attracted to different colors (wavelengths), so you can reduce numbers of some types of bugs by not using anything close to their favorite color (or wavelength).[Shortest to longest wavelengths are: Ultraviolet – invisible, Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, Infra-red – invisible].-Earwigs, and other crawling bugs are attracted most to warm White and Yellow. Click beetles, fungus flies, and bioluminescent bugs (fireflies) are most attracted to Amber. Some species of mosquitoes prefer these colors too but not most.-Most mosquitos, biting flies, and many disease carriers are attracted to Green & Blue. Bloodsuckers however use infrared & exhaled CO2 to locate their prey, so changing the color of the lights may not help as much as with other bugs.-A University of Agriculture study in Pakistan found that up to seventy percent of bugs prefer cool blue light while only eight to ten percent are attracted to yellow light.-A recent Smithsonian study in the tropical rainforests of Peru found that Amber-filtered bulbs attracted 34 percent fewer species and 60 percent fewer insects in total than white lights. (Note that Yellow is very close to amber but Amber attracted less insects in their Peruvian study).So, if you’re not sure which bugs will come around and are obsessed about it, the very best strategy is to put up strings of many very tiny Amber or Yellow patio lights because bugs notice big lights and fewer bugs like these colors.For my current situation in the backwoods I decided not to obsess too much about the color or bugs. I bought a couple of 8-packs of these yellow bulbs because I have a lot of outdoor fixtures. The yellow is a good compromise to reduce the odds of bugs but have slightly more brightness than amber. I previously bought and returned some cheap amber lights that got unusually hot and probably wouldn’t last through our hot summers here. These yellow bulbs seem like they may (possibly) have a better chance of lasting than many of the others for sale on Amazon, otherwise I probably would have just stuck with amber.(There were less bugs but I did get bitten by mosquitos late at night under one of these yellow bulbs after writing this, so maybe I should have stuck with the lower brightness amber anyway).

These bulbs are perfect for replacing the Globe style vanity bulbs. The 2700K is the perfect color temperature to replace the traditional incandescent bulb. Nice warm light without any weird colors.

I bought these for my outdoor wall light fixtures. I live in a small community in the CA desert, and our porch/patio lights are the only lights for miles. They attract bugs like crazy. I even got thwacked in the head by a flying praying mantis a couple of weeks ago when I was out on my patio. I have had these bulbs in the fixtures for about a week. I just checked eariler and between my three outdoor wall fixtures I saw only one moth. Similar results on previous nights. THESE THINGS REALLY WORK! For that reason alone I am giving them 5 Stars.I also live in a "Dark Skies" area near an observatory where lighting is kept to a minimum. These are definitely not as bright as regular 60W LED Equivalents. These bulbs arrived quickly and were packaged well. All bulbs work and appear to be well made. They provide adequate light without being too bright or too dim. I don't post many reviews, but these are worth the effort.

These are a lot brighter than we expected. They look great and I like the idea that they are both LEDs and plastic.

So far, very good product at a super price.

My master bathroom light fixture has 8 bulbs. Yes 8. One burned out and for the love of me I couldn’t find lightbulbs anywhere. I was told I’d have to invest in led bulbs. They last longer anyway! So I ordered this pack of 8. I knew once I ordered that they were going to be much brighter than the wattage I had in there prior. And yes, I did check max wattage. I unscrewed all my lightbulbs and put these bad boys in. Flipped on the lights and holy brightness. I can see every pore in my face! Taking a shower is a whole new experience. I would have never thought it be would that big of a difference. My kids came to check it out and they all said “oh my god, it’s so bright” I was second guessing my purchase but they all agreed that it wasn’t a bad thing. Just noticeably brighter than those halogen bulbs I had in it before. Let’s hope they last as long as they say they should!

I have had these up for the past couple weeks and I have to say the bugs seem not to be attracted to these. Before I had regular LED bulbs and the bugs came from every town near by. Now not a bug in sight. They work great and I will be buying and recommending these bulbs to my family and friends.

Seems to keep insects away
