Why Wooden Beads Chandelier is the Right Coastal Lighting

Introduction
Enjoying a breezy coastal evening should be relaxing—not a battle against bugs. Unfortunately, many coastal lighting choices attract mosquitoes and other insects, making outdoor gatherings frustrating.
How can you light up your patio, deck, or garden without turning it into a bug magnet? The key lies in smart lighting choices and natural repellents.
1. Choose Bug-Repellent Lighting Materials
Certain materials can help repel insects naturally.
✅ Solution: The Zepboo BugFree Pendant Light features wooden beads infused with citronella essential oil.
✔ The slow-release scent discourages mosquitoes.
✔ The natural wooden beads complement coastal aesthetics.
✔ No need for artificial sprays or toxic chemicals.
2. Use the Right Light Spectrum to Deter Bugs
Certain light colors are more attractive to insects than others.
✅ Fix: Try a two-tone lighting strategy:
🔹 Warm yellow LED bulbs – Less attractive to bugs than cool white or UV lights.
🔹 Blue accent lights – Certain wavelengths confuse insects and deter them.
This "bug-repelling spectrum combination" helps keep your space illuminated without inviting pests.
3. DIY a Bug-Proof Lamp Cover
Even with the right lighting, bugs can still linger. A simple physical barrier can help.
✅ Hack: Use mosquito netting fabric to create a DIY lamp cover:
✔ Wrap it around pendant lights to block insects.
✔ Choose light, airy fabric to maintain the coastal look.
✔ Works especially well for wooden bead pendant lights.
Final Thoughts
Coastal lighting doesn’t have to mean coastal bug problems. By combining citronella-infused wooden bead fixtures, smart lighting colors, and DIY protective covers, you can enjoy beautiful, bug-free outdoor lighting all season long.
