I read many years ago that yellow is the second best colour for not
attracting bugs. Ultra-violet is the best to attract, followed by ordinary
white. To NOT attract most bulb manufacturers make yellow or "gold" coloured
bulbs, but the best colour apparently is RED. Unfortunately the
manufacturer's marketing department nixed the idea as they felt the colour
would not sell very well - most people would object to having a red light
outside their front door.

Is there any such thing as a light bulb for outdoor lamp fixtures
(above garage and front door) that will not attract as many bugs
without using the yellow bulbs? I think yellow around the house would
look horrible.


Thanks so much,
Patty.
