NorbBUG LITE™ is a unique light with a specialized light spectrum to help keep moths and mosquitoes away. Designed to reduce bug attraction without harsh chemicals or coatings.
Unlike ordinary white bulbs that emit blue wavelengths known to attract moths and mosquitoes, NorbBUG LITE leaves out the wavelengths that draw in bugs and illuminates your home, work, and campsite without being a bug magnet.
Insects are physiologically linked to sunlight and moonlight, and standard lighting can unintentionally act like a beacon. NorbBUG LITE delivers a warm 2000K amber glow that illuminates your porch, patio, campsite, or entryway without turning it into a bug magnet.
It provides bright, comfortable illumination while helping create a more peaceful outdoor environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does NorbBUG LITE help reduce bugs around my porch or patio?
Insects are naturally attracted to certain light wavelengths, especially blue and cool white light.
NorbBUG LITE uses a specialized warm amber 2000K spectrum designed without those bug-attracting wavelengths, helping reduce insect activity around porches, patios, decks, garages, and campsites.
Is NorbBUG LITE better than amber-coated bug bulbs?
Yes. Many amber-coated bulbs still emit blue light that attracts bugs and can be less energy efficient.
NorbBUG LITE is engineered with a precision spectrum rather than tinted glass, making it more effective, longer lasting, and more energy efficient.
Is NorbBUG LITE safe for the ecosystem and fireflies?
Artificial light pollution can disrupt insects, including pollinators and fireflies.
NorbBUG LITE features a blue-reduced spectrum designed to minimize insect attraction and reduce nighttime disruption to natural behaviors like mating and migration, while still providing effective outdoor illumination.
Choosing lighting that attracts fewer bugs helps support healthier local ecosystems. Read research-based articles here.
How bright is NorbBUG LITE?
NorbBUG LITE produces approximately 960 lumens, similar to a 75W incandescent bulb, while using only 9 watts of energy.
It delivers a warm amber glow that is bright enough for outdoor spaces without attracting insects like white LEDs.
What fixtures and voltage does NorbBUG LITE require?
NorbBUG LITE features a standard A19 shape with an E26 base and fits most common fixtures.
It operates on standard 120V, 60Hz circuits and is suitable for porches, patios, entryways, garages, and outdoor living areas.
Does NorbBUG LITE repel bugs?
NorbBUG LITE is not a repellent — no light truly repels insects.
Instead of repelling bugs, it reduces the number of insects drawn to your lights by eliminating the blue and other wavelengths that typically attract moths and mosquitoes. You will see far fewer bugs compared to standard light bulbs.

"I installed them and the frog and lizard that lived next to my porch have had to move to more fertile hunting grounds. It's hard to believe how good this works. We actually had a lizard and a toad that would hang out on our porch to feed under our lights. Not any more."
