Is there a solar powered light (for the yard) that attracts bugs, but is not a bug zapper?

Wanting to relocate some wild frogs/toads, they seem to like a certain flower bed because the "night light" on the house brings the bugs. My thought is if I make another area enticing, they will go there.

Yeah, any of them that don't include a bug zapper
- I was thinking LED wasn't very good at attracting bugs, will give it a shot.
I have to imagine any light is going to attract bugs. You may have the best luck with daylight white lights as it is the most like sunlight. Some brief research found these.

- perfect, thanks!
Pretty much any light that's on at night will attract bugs. I'd recommend going with an actual lightbulb and not an LED though. This is purely anecdotal, but I find that LEDs attract less bugs than normal bulbs. A children's night light maybe?
- I can't find any of these in a solar powered variety.
