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

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

Just buy yellow strip led for you food prep areas, yeah very $$$$$
Never get me prepping food from the rear of a 4x4, We have a huge 20' tarp
and prep and cook all food hopefully before dark

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

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.

Ive got white the white ones and turn them up bright, that way they're hovering around the light and not biting me
