Non-bug attracting light?

[metallicat]

What sort of light bulb can I buy for my balcony that does not attract bugs? LED? Where to buy something like this, Home Depot?

I've used the yellow ones before. They tend to attract a lot fewer bugs.

They sell them at Home Depot, Walmart, etc.

Yeah, I am heading to HD so I'll check it out. I can't believe the little flies that congregate on my screen door and balcony light. I can't use the balcony in the day because of the heat, and I can't use the balcony at night because of the bugs!

Screened in porch man, best thing ever.

I saw some of those yellow lights at superstore earlier tonight and it made me think of this thread. However they were called 'Bug Lights' which led me to believe they attracted bugs.

I bought a yellow bug light at Home Depot, but I haven't put it in...rather, I've just taken the old bulb out and left it dark. Very few bugs. They are still attracted to the lights from the room itself, but not nearly as bad.

Thanks guys.
