RP: Outdoor lighting that doesn't attract bugs

I also posted this on D&R.  Does anyone know of any nice outdoor lighting that doesn't attract bugs?

    "The meek shall inherit the earth" isn't about children. It's about deer. We're all going to get messed the fuckup by a bunch of cloned super-deer.- samfish2bcrab

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman

  • Amazing!   We can send people into space, replace hearts, clone animals, talk on a phone with no wires but we can't invent a light that doesn't attract bugs. 
  • We have this yellow lightbulb for outside our front door that doesn't seem to attract bugs like regular lightbulbs do.  My husband got it at HD & we just screwed it into a regular light fixture.

    This.  GE makes a standard medium base CFL (energy saving) and a normal incandescent bulb that has a yellow coating to it.  They sell them at Walmart in the Hardware section, and I would suppose Home Depot and Lowe's would have them, too.  GE calls them "Bug Lights".  As far as smaller bulbs go, I don't know that they make them yet.
