95% less bugs on your campsite
How does orange light reduce bug presence?

 

 

Some bugs, like mosquitos and moths, can't help but move their body towards any light source they can see. This phenomenon is called positive phototaxis. Entomologists still don't have a complete understanding of why this phenomenon exists, but it is clearly observable in nature.

Of course, bugs will only be attracted to light they can see, and there is a useful difference between the spectra of light which are visible to humans compared to bugs. Humans can generally see light which has a wavelength between 380nm (blue) and 740nm (red). Most bugs, conversely, can see light with a wavelength between 300nm and 600nm.

The wavelength of our orange LEDs is 610nm, putting them outside of the spectrum visible to most bugs, but still well inside the boundaries of human vision. As a result, most bugs will not congregate around our orange light because they simply don't know it is there.

Since we invented the LED camp light bar back in 2008, Hardkorr camp light kits have been the only choice for campers who want quality built products that will last for many years. The design has changed over time and new features have been introduced, but it’s still made with the same meticulous attention to detail that has seen us become a household name in camp lighting.

Our 2 bar LED camping light kit is designed to be a perfect starter kit for those with small setups or who are just starting out with camping. It is also a popular choice for illuminating canopies or toolboxes.

With 1,180 lumens total light output (on white setting) and over 12m of high quality plug-and-play cabling, you will have plenty of different options when lighting up your campsite.

Each bar comes with both orange and white LEDs, and using our exclusive tri-colour dimmer switches, you can create three distinct colours of light - cool white, warm white and orange. The cool white light provides maximum brightness, whereas the new warm white setting gives off a light that is almost as bright as cool white, but with a pleasant soothing warmth. It’s perfect for setting a calm, happy mood in your campsite, particularly later at night. Finally, switching to the orange light naturally reduces the presence of bugs by up to 90%, and is particularly useful around food preparation and eating areas.

The dimmer switch comes with our removable pole clips so you can attach it to a tent or awning pole, giving you one less thing to worry about misplacing out in the bush.

Our LED Camp Light Kits are also a very popular choice for lighting up ute canopies and 4x4 cargo areas. To find out more, have a look at this article on our blog: Ute Canopy and 4WD Cargo Area Lighting: A Complete Guide
