This lamp was sent to me from Japan by Jerry and Rosie. Jerry writes:- "The yellow bug-light lamp is commonly used for outside lanterns and alleyway lights to avoid attracting insects and spiders, and reduce cobwebs building up around light fixtures."
The yellow light the lamp puts out is a very sharp lemon-yellow as opposed to the golden orange of other similar lamps I've seen. The theory is that the insects are attracted to light in the blue/UV area of the spectrum and will find a low-blue lamp less attractive.
