LED's and ME....

[Condor]

Maybe it's just me, but I've noticed that when our LED porch light is on at night it doesn't attract the bugs like it use to when it was a tungsten bulb.. MOF I don't get spider webs like I used to since the bug population has dropped dramatically.... Any one else notice that?? Of maybe I'm hallucinating again??

"LED lights, on the other hand, emit very little light on the UV spectrum, so when it comes to navigation and food, LED lights simply aren’t very interesting to insects. Plus, LEDs give off significantly less heat than regular light bulbs, and with less UV lighting and heat to attract bugs, it follows that you may see fewer bugs swarming around."
