True bug light would be DC powered, or AC LED

The problem with 120V LED's being bug lights is the electronic DC conversion circuitry generates heat, heat results in the emission of infrared from the base of the lamp holder.  Infrared attracts moths.  If it were not for the conversion circuitry, the LED light would generate very little heat.  So obviously then the way to have true bug lights would be to have the light fixture supplied with the required DC.

Or, another option, would be LED's designed to run on A/C.  That's a bit hard to imagine, but I imagine ways it could be imagined, bipolar LED's or LED chains.
