I really hate getting people upset but the real answer is this:
For some bazaar reason the light (bright) tends to paralyze the muscles on the side of the light..hence the wings on the opposite side (away from the light) tend to flap faster and you get the typical spiraling flight around a light.
I have never been able to find out from an evolutionary stand point why this is so...
But this is the correct answer! (as crazy as it sounds)..It has to be i saw it on Nova..he..he..

Bugs fly around bright lights at night because insects are cold-blooded and need the heat those lights give off to warm themselves up. Night is generally cooler than day and the bugs internal temperature is the same as the temperature of the surrounding air.

They usually find their way by the moonlight - they are confused by other lights at night.
