I had to clean out our car last night after I just couldn't take it anymore /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif and as I walked the distance from the front door to the car, my incandescent light was attracting every single moth and other insect from all over the state of Missouri!
So, I was wondering...which color LED would be the most invisible to light-attracted insects? blue? royal blue? or do I need to go to the other end of the spectrum and go with red or orange? What about green or yellow since they're in the middle? I'm looking to get as much light as possible.
Now, the other problem, is that I love my colored Arc AAA's and Infinity's in various colors but they aren't bright enough to walk around outside at night. So, I'm thinking maybe a colored Luxeon or maybe even a different color X5T...any thoughts? Which color would be the best? I'm not looking to have accurate color rendition or anything...I just want to avoid attracting as many insects/moths as possible while having as much light as possible. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
