It's the white light. They can't see yellow as well. Temperature has nothing to do with it. Put a yellow bulb by the porch and a white one a ways away. It'll pull them away from the door.

Blue lights... Blue lights are the best. Or maybe green lights.... Just no RED LIGHT's - LOL

James Pepper: There's no law west of Dodge and no God west of the Pecos. Right, Mr. Chisum? John Chisum: Wrong, Mr. Pepper. Because no matter where people go, sooner or later there's the law. And sooner or later they find God's already been there.
If you've ever done a bunch of coon hunting when it's warm out, you would discover that a green light works best as a walking light to keep the bugs from swarming to you. Red is best for getting eyes to look back at you and show up, although some guys prefer amber to look for eyes. White or amber is the worst for bugs, including moths.
One is alone in a land so vast, there is only the mountains, the wind, and the eyes of God.
Try an LED light bulb. We sell LED landscape lighting and accordingly by what our manufacturer's rep tells me, LED's won't attract bugs because they are drawn to the heat, not the light. LED's don't get hot. I'm not sure if that's true, but it sounds good.
Wrong. Moths are attracted to light in the blue/near ultraviolet part of the spectrum (bug zapper bulbs). That's where the yellow LED bulbs, if made with yellow LEDS, should be particularly good. They don't make any other color of light. Other bulbs produce light in the blue/UV spectrum and are 'filtered' by one means or another and performance depends on how good they do.
