Can anyone tell me about how anti-bug this bulb may or may not be? I've read LED bulbs attract less bugs. Thanks!

It hasn't made any difference, there are still the same amount of bugs that are attracted to the lights. But they do use much less energy and they are very bright.

Y think it really attract less bugs than tungsten, but i can´t assure you that... I think they do attract less bugs because although they are bright, and bugs are attracted to light, they also are attracted to heat, and these are always cold, compared to tungsten... You can cook an egg in the tungsten ones, on "contraire" these are cold enough to finger touch...

I purchased 10 3-packs for my home about 6-months ago. The majority of mine are located in enclosed fixtures. 6 have already failed. Finding LEDs that truly work in enclosed fixtures at the brightness you want, and the color you want can be quite challenging! I have other brands/models in my house as well, but none with a failure rate close to these.

Mine also has a problem staying on when it shouldn't be. My bulbs burned out within 2 months. I wouldn't buy another. It's a China Cheapie!

Not sure about the bulb. Don't remember mentioning anything about an LED bulb. My husband thinks it's a quartz bulb. I would suggest calling the manufacturer or a local store that carries it. Good luck.

no motion, i have 5 of the same 2 bulb fixtures hooked up on one switch. turn on and off at my leisure. if you buy them invest in LED bulbs. they may cost more, but are worth it. they deliver the best light, and dont attract as many bugs as regular bulbs.

Are your bulbs exposed? The first time I bought ladybugs, I didn't realize they'd fly up to the lights and fry themselves...

I have no problem with my bulbs. I have these in my livingroom ceiling fan and in my bathroom. No problems at all with my bulbs or fans. It says not recommended for motion sensor lights...

This trap uses long lasting LED bulbs. There should be no need to replace the bulbs for a long time.

It is not. Not all all LED light bulbs are dimmable. They have to specify it when they are. I got a dimmable one from Amazon too but it's a white light not a bug repellent, the brand is Tuwago.

I live in Minnesota, I had installed the l.e.d bulbs and about a week later I think the cold weather affected them. I returned them for credit back to my account. hopefully this helps you.

What kind of led's? Are they the inexpensive switch back or are they the more expensive Cree? They putting regular bulbs while you habr the led flasher in. If it works then its not the flasher its the bulbs if it doesnt work then it is the flasher. These thing suck work on because you never know what quality led bulbs your getting i habe had to trouble shot ot one step at a time. I recently tried to put 194 led cree bulbs in my front marker lamp and my rear led taillights stopped working. But when i put regular led bulbs in it everything worked again.

I purchased Cree LED light bulbs at Home Depot which seemed to solve the problem. Apparently these bulbs are more efficient (lumens per watt), which implies to me less heat is being generated. These bulbs are also cast a more diffused light that other LED bulbs. Note that LED can lights are designed for the can enclosure, which is not true for LED light bulbs. Someone mentioned dimmers not working. I have found out that the dimmer needs to specify that it will work with LED lights to work properly.

We use energy saving bulbs so no complaints about any excess heat. Don't know about LED bulbs.

I'm using a few of these on the outside of my house in insect-rich Florida, and while I haven't systematically sampled the different light fixtures around the house, and with the caveat that some sides of the house may be naturally more prone to bugs than the other sides... I *think* that may be right. At least so far this year I haven't noticed the masses of insects around the lights that I sometimes see. That said, if LEDs attract fewer bugs, that may be a double-edged sword. If they're not coming to your outdoor floodlights, they'll still be coming to your windows (unless your whole house is LED inside too!). I've had mine in use regularly for several months now and really do like them so far. Feit seems to make a great LED.

We purchased the LED bulbs. They don't burn hot or burn out. They also don't cast a blue tone like the bulbs that come with the kit. They were about $5 each but well worth it. You can find them under suggested items.

Brooke-Good question. After I received this bulb I wanted to send it back because it worked poorly but had no responce. If you figure it out could you let me know?
