dusk to dawn bug light bulbs

Work great! No flicker, accurate dusk to dawn operation. Bought these for two pathway pole light fixtures that have barn type metal domes. OriginallyI tried using a screw in eye for one location but with the hood it reflected light back to the eye which made the light flicker or cycle on off. The other location I added a sensor outside of the fixture. It worked fine until the squirrels ate it. Bought these and they have been working great! No issues been a few weeks. They give off light that is equivalent to the 60 watt yellow bug bulbs I had prior but at less power cost due to being LED. The light is a bit more orange than yellow which is fine. I’ve not noticed evidence of bugs being attracted to them. That’s important here in Florida. They worked so well I bought another 4 pack to put on the shelf. They were priced less than a standard LED bug light at the big box store which do not have the dusk to dawn sensor

I was hesitant to spend $10 on 2 light bulbs but these really work from dusk to dawn. I was looking for a bulb that didn't attract bugs and was not on all day long. These work great! Allows me to see when I leave the house at 4am. And no bugs flying around my head. It's a soft yellow light bulb. Great purchase!

Really nice and bright. The photo sensors work great even under a covered porch. I am really happy with these, especially at this price. Excellent value. You screw them in like any other light bulb, flip your light switch to On, and forget about them, which is exactly what I was looking for.

I’ve been on the hunt for an outdoor bug light that does more than just repel insects—it had to be effective, easy to install, and durable. The Gonhom Dusk to Dawn Sensing Outdoor Bug Light seemed promising, and after using it for a few weeks, here’s my take. Design & Build Quality: Right off the bat, I was impressed by the build quality. The Gonhom bug light feels sturdy and well-made, with a classic outdoor lantern look that fits in seamlessly with my porch decor. It’s made from weather-resistant materials, which is a must for any outdoor light, and it feels like it could stand up to the elements—rain, wind, and the occasional bump. The light itself is a bit bulkier than some other outdoor lights, but it’s not overly heavy or obtrusive. Ease of Installation: Installation was straightforward. It uses a standard E26 bulb base, which meant I could easily swap it out with my old porch light without needing any special tools or expertise. The dusk-to-dawn sensor is built into the fixture, so I didn’t need to worry about setting up anything extra. Just screw it in, and you’re good to go. It’s plug-and-play, which is a big plus for those of us who aren't too handy. Bug Repelling Effectiveness: This is where it gets interesting. The bug-repelling feature worked decently, but not as dramatically as I hoped. It uses a yellow-tinted light, which is said to attract fewer bugs than regular white lights. I did notice fewer mosquitoes and moths around the light, but I can’t say it eliminated the issue entirely. If you have a heavy bug problem in your area, this might help reduce the number of insects, but it’s not a total bug-free solution. One thing to note is that while it’s supposed to be a “bug light,” I didn’t find it as effective as some of the more specialized bug zappers. It certainly attracted fewer bugs than regular lights, but I still had to use other methods like citronella candles and bug spray for total control. Dusk to Dawn Feature: The dusk-to-dawn feature is a major plus. The light automatically turns on at dusk and off at dawn, so I don’t have to worry about flipping a switch every evening or remembering to turn it off in the morning. It works as advertised, and it’s convenient for low-maintenance outdoor lighting. Light Quality: The light itself is bright enough to illuminate my porch area and make it feel welcoming without being overpowering. The yellowish hue is soft on the eyes and definitely better than harsh, bright lights, but it’s not as warm and cozy as I would have liked for a porch light. It gives off a utilitarian feel rather than an inviting ambiance, though this is more of a personal preference. Durability & Performance: The light has been holding up well despite some pretty heavy rain and windy days. No flickering, no moisture buildup, and no signs of wear. I’m confident it’ll last through the seasons. However, I’ll update this review if I run into any long-term durability issues. Final Thoughts: The Gonhom Dusk to Dawn Sensing Outdoor Bug Light does its job fairly well but isn't a magical, all-in-one solution for bug problems. The dusk-to-dawn sensor is excellent for convenience, and the build quality is solid. The bug repellent feature is decent but not perfect, and I think it works best as a supplementary tool rather than a full-on bug defense. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, energy-efficient outdoor light with some bug-repelling benefits, this is a solid option. Just don’t expect it to be a total bug zapper replacement. For the price and the added convenience of automatic operation, though, it’s still a worthwhile product for most people looking to enjoy their porch without the constant annoyance of bugs.

Perfect! They turn on and off automatically by themselves if you leave your light switch in the on position. And the yellow light doesnt attract bugs the way white light does. Will definitely buy again.

They work great ! Very pleased. The bulbs look white until they light up.

Drastic change to the amount of bugs that are around my front door now. They used to be so bad and attack when trying to come home at night. Now they are barely noticeable. I also enjoy that it’s not running all day long and only comes on at night. The color is interesting but it lights up the porch just fine so I don’t mind it. It’s a great product for the price and I would highly recommend.

I prefer this type of bug light over a normal white LED. The dawn to dust feature has worked successfully with my current timer switch system.

These are great, screw them in turn on the light switch and walk away the lights will automatically turn on and off.

Funcionan perfectamente. 👍🏽

Ninguno de los dos funcionó.:(

Regular bulbs attract moths and other insects to the front door. This amber bulb solves that problem as it no longer attracts the moths. I love that it turns on automatically at dusk and off at dawn by itself.

No me Gustó el color. No es ámbar. Es amarillo intenso. Pero devolución.
