This says porch/utility light. If used for a porch light, does it attrack bugs? Wondering if I should get the yellow one?

I also use the yellow ones for the porch light since they don't seem to attrack bugs. I use the clear ones on the opposite side of the unit and by the hitch

For outside yellow light would be less likely to attract insects, moths, etc

I use the yellow for a porch light, it does not attract bugs and it's easier on the eyes. Also, the lenses are interchangeable and can be bought separately if you ever need the white one.

I used one for inside the back of my cargo van for late night work. I imagine it would thou, most lights do attract bugs.

Low color temperatures are red-yellow and exhibit a long wavelength, while high color temperatures are blue-violet and exhibit a short wavelength. By coloring a bulb yellow, then, the manufacturer has decreased the color temperature and in doing so increased the wavelength into a spectrum unseen by insects.

NoIt is not a solar light, it plugs into standard 120 volt outlet, light emitted is black light {UV-A light} to better attract bugs so it can zap them dead

I have one hanging on either side of my porch, they are very quiet and the light is not intense so close is ok ! They by no means clear out all the bugs but over time they catch an aweful lot of them !

Do you know if you are going to wire this like a normal exterior light or would you be wanting to attach a plug and plug it in a socket on the exterior of the garage like a security light? If you want this like outside your front door, it would probablybe wired and attached to the exterior of your house and connected to a switch on the interior by your front door. Then it could work with a switch. Personally, if you wanted one by your front door, I'd put up a more decorative, maybe even motion-type light. this is really more of a security light, sleak and attractive, but more security.

It's a good strong light and will light up anything that glows (blood, etc.), but I don't have personal experience with bed bugs and see conflicting statments on line. It's pretty clear that the bug itself doesn't glow, but some claim what they leave behind does (waste and blood trails). Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

If it is an outdoor bulb, yes, it will work no differently. The motion detector simply switches on/off, but the bulb is not part of the equation. ANy outdoor bulb will work if it screws into the socket.

This is ere I am using it. LED light is NOT supposed to attract bugs and has MUCH lower power consumption. Hope this helps!

I have mine in my porch lights and don't really like the light they give off compared to incandesants. I may try a higher wattage because most lights call for 60 watts because of the heat an incandesant gives off but I think the new bulbs are cooler. Just don't count on them lasting five years . You will be lucky if you get six months.

I am not certain about this. I use it only for my porch and outside garage lights. Sorry; I wish I could have been of more help.

We have one on our front porch and we keep the light on all day and night - no issues with bugs. You can adjust the angle if the alarm goes off for critters and there is also a button to adjust if too sensitive. We have one on our porch to tell us when someone is there (primarily to know when Fedex, UPS or USPS has a delivery) and one aimed at our driveway and very happy with them. It would be nice to be able to adjust the volume - there are only two choices, alarm (very loud) and beeps (can set 1 to 4 beeps on each so you know which alarm is going off (front porch or driveway for us).

It's made only for outsidebut as for wasps and bees? No of course not. Bug lights attract flying nighttime insects like mosquitoes, moths, and maybe the odd house fly or junebug.

Another person on the review mentioned replacing the repulsive bug zapping color light bulb that came with the product. I went to a local shop that sold lighting equipment and purchased an amber light bulb as recommended by the other purchaser. hope that helps

I don't know. I tried it in my kitchen - about 10' x 12' and only caught one bug in the first 24 hours. The light failed after that and I sent it back. Disappointing buy.

Not really. I put two in a new motion detector backyard light, and they rarely fully illuminate the first time you walk by. Doesn't do much good if you have to keep going by a light to get it to turn on enough to be useful.

It is a florescent light. It's not that bright, about medium brightness but it comes with a lure that you hang at the bottom of the unit that attracts bugs like crazy.

That actually means your bulb is good. When the bulb is new it is just throwing out UV light. You can't hardly see it, even at night but the bugs sure can! Unfortunately the bulbs do not stay in the UV-emitting range for long, maybe 6 months. Fortunately they will even attract bugs well into the violet color region. This makes them good for about two years total for me. I use the auto-turn-on-at-night setting with a flat green peice of plastic (bottom of a Scotts fertilizer jug) over the top of the zapper to keep the water out but still let light through. My last zapper died when water got into the switch after only one season. That actually means your bulb is good. When the bulb is new it is just throwing out UV light.

You can but the light attracts bugs so if you put it right outside the garage door, that's where the bugs will go. In theory the further away from you put it the further away the bugs will be.
