HardKorr's new Lifestyle range is perfect for occasional campers and those who like to explore their world on a budget.

They've spent over 12 months working with industrial designers, engineers and production team to create a range of products that are incredibly cost-effective without sacrificing the quality and usability which are synonymous with the Hardkorr brand.

So if you’re looking for a great everyday range of camping and adventure products that won’t break the bank, look no further than the Hardkorr Lifestyle range.

HardKorr's Lifestyle Ezy-Fit LED strip is very simple to set up, and is ideally suited to be used in tent awnings or anywhere you want to set up a light quickly. You can use the Velcro strips sewn into the back to quickly attach to a pole, or use the inbuilt sail track to slide straight into the channel of most awnings or annexes.

The light comes with both orange and white LEDs built into the single strip light; the white light is ideal when there are no bugs around, and the naturally bug-repellent orange light is ideal for when bugs are present. In fact the orange light reduces the presence of bugs by up to 90%!

How does Orange Light Reduce Bugs?

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 must 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.
