    No more mozzie's/moths

    Spied these and thought of all the Pod guys that work out of their Pods.
    Plus all the guys that prepare meals out the back of their Patrols,
    With all the strip Led lighting being used there must be insects flying
    around everywhere,
    My BFF and I did a test up the Murray using a Maglite and an LED torch
    to see which attracted the most moths and night flyer, Its not the heat
    they want its the light and both attracted the same amount.
    There was a mob years ago that put a yellow flouro into a Versa/Piranha
    style camp light with a little success, now I see they have yellow LEDs
    to achieve the same thing, Just saying,,,,,,,,,,Or just buy a yellow LED
    price seems a touch high

    2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder


    And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.

    At $108 I'd just put up with the buggers.

    Jeeeezus... $100 bucks !!!!

    I have dual white and yellow LED strips on my Patrol
    White is for DRL, Yellow is for Indicator
    They cost about $10 bucks a side IIRC
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    When I did horizontal falls we stayed on a houseboat by the falls and they only had yellow lights and there were no bugs. A mate has made his own yellow strip lights for his camper and I plan to do the same.
