I have a problem with insects keep attracted to my car porch LED lights which I switch on every night.
Is there a way to get rid of those insects coming to my car porch LED lights?

I dont see any thing wrong with the blue light. Your purpose is to get rid of the insects. Once is gone, revert to using normal light.

The insects have 'season'. Is doesnt appear daily.

Alternative, you can use a basin with water and lit a long candle in the middle and off the porch light.

I think this is a common problem. I spray the shieldtox mosquito spray and installed detection led. So if no movement the light goes off.

I am more interested with the mosquito or fly in the room.... since room I can't always spray especially if I am inside. For those led with a fan, sometimes the fly will die inside. I had removed 2 of them so far. Other irritating thing is sometimes these flies or don't know what will keep hitting the light bulb and you will hear tat tat sound. Quite irritating.
