Made a noticeable difference for me (of course YMMV). The inside of my 2 outside garage fixtures were like an insect burial ground and my security camera right next to one of them looked like a haze of flying bugs all night. After putting these in it's 10x better (still some buggers on some nights) but has been great for the last year so far. If they don't work for you just return 'em to Amazon.


Oooops, Amazon says "no longer in stock." Never mind!
Thanks for mentioning this. I put them on my wish list and will keep checking to see when they’re in stock.

Can't you just buy wifi changeable color led bulbs and see what color works the best.

We have the light that looks like a flame flickering. Works very well. Ace Hardware has them.

One thing I find strange in my neighborhood, there are few flying insects at night and few mosquitoes 🦟. Not complaining just find it unusual?

Same with our Charlotte Village. Hardly ever see bugs flying around.
Plus I have a soft blue light( In support of police and first responders) that don't seem to attract bugs...

I took a chance and ordered the 2300K LED bulbs for the outside coach lights from Amazon. 2000K was supposedly the optimal color range for attracting the fewest bugs. (2300K was close enough.)

I’ve had them on now 8-10:30 the last 3 nights, and no bugs on the house. It is a softer light than I’m used to but it’s adequate for the task.

If anyone is interested these are the bulbs I got from Amazon. Cost $15.99 for a 4 pack.

Dimmable Vintage LED Danse Edison Bulbs 6W, Equivalent 60W, Amber Warm 2300K, Antique Style ST58 LED Filament Bulbs, E26 Base, 4 Packs, Each Individually
Brand: Dsane
