Cool Day Lamp for Light Trap for Moth

  • ANZEIGE
  • Hi,
    usually, people use an ultraviolet light, or mercury vapor light for night collecting, the reasons being that moths see ultraviolet
    better and will see the UV more easily, and the mercury vapor lights produce brighter light that encompasses the whole spectrum.
    Portable lights usually use an ultraviolet fluorescent tube for running on a battery, because they use less electricity, mercury vapor uses
    much more electricity and I don't think they can run on a battery.
    Clearly any white light is going to attract night flying insects, it's just a matter of efficiency. Ultraviolet lights can be found on the web, or you
    could use a replacement bulb for a "bug zapper", it's the same light.
