After a close call next door, I'm convinced on outdoor GFCIs

I used to think GFCI outlets were overkill for covered patios. Then my neighbor's lights shorted during a light rain. It sparked and tripped the main breaker, luckily. That showed me moisture can get in anywhere. Now I always put in GFCIs for outside work.

I was the same until my porch light last summer.

Yeah, those yellow bug bulbs are a game changer. What brand did you end up going with?

What changed your mind about it? I never used to care about having one either, but seeing all the bugs swarm my neighbor's bright light made me switch to a yellow bulb. It just seems to work better without attracting every moth in the county.
