Looking for recommendations on amber/orange led lights for bug prevention while camping. What's everyone using? TIA!

I've just started buying some new lights for my rear cargo area and for the sides and rear of my roof rack. I am trying out some Hella marine lights because they won't rust out and are water proof and have amazing diffusers and low power consumption led.

another reason was they are available in red and white dual color leds which is great for bugs and night vision.

i got a HELLA '9950 Series' EuroLED Touch Multivolt White/Red 9-33V DC Dual Color LED for the inside upper tailgate and I will try the Hella Marine Sea Hawk XL Dual-Color Floodlight, Red for the rear ladder and side of the rack.

Ill get some photos of it next week when im camping.

Green light won't attract bugs like other colors we in the fishing world use green for interior lights on our boats for just that reason

Another reason I went with red is for night vision. My daughter loves Astronomy. I find green disturbs night vision too much. Marine lights feature red quite a bit. What lights have other people found for work/flood lights?

Interesting topic! Does anyone here has a recommedation for a LED for inside the cabin which could be switch on in red or white and maybe also in a warm white light color?

Thanks,

Another quick update. I added the rear work light and one of the two side lights. These Hella Marine Sea Hawk XL lights are perfect. They are like 6" wide and 2" or so tall, but the diffused light that comes off them is so perfect. Nice even, no glare, not harsh light.


Bought 3 of these. They are listed at $300 in some spots but $150 in others... but I found one crazy vendor selling them for $75 on amazon... A STEEL!

folds down, it stands out a little but its not bad.

Folds out for use... red or white lights.

This is a HELLA 959950121 '9950 Series' EuroLED Touch Multivolt White/Red which was $127


Controlling all this with a INSMA 433Mhz Wireless RF Switch Long Range DC 12V 4CH Channel Wireless Remote Control Switch
These things are hit or miss.. sometimes they are flakey. So far this one has been good, but I need to test it more.
