Not as much heat as an incandescent bulb but it still gets warm enough to attract them. 60 watt incandescent 85 BTUs/hr 14 watt CFL 30 BTUs/hr 8 watt LED 3 BTUs/hr
So the bulb worked for the first year? Obviously, the quality of light that it produces degraded over time and it now operates on a wavelength that bugs associate with good things, such as sucking blood from your veins while you sleep. Pry open your wallet and buy a new bulb.
All the sudden you grew a pair? Meanwhile, somebody is handing your girl a towel so she can wipe the nut off her chin.
@Francis, Feel free to post those nekkid pictures of that woman you barely know in this thread. No one will know.
