Book excerpt: The design of moth trap in this book is the result of several years experimentation with a range of materials and light sources. None of the experiments was ever a complete failure, but the final design using 0.75W UV LEDs works about as well as established trap designs using an 8W actinic tube. These LED traps can be powered from using AA batteries of the correct type and are lightweight, so can be carried easily to survey sites. In a garden the trap can be powered using a suitable power supply or other types of battery. Any DC supply from 5 Volts to 25 Volts will do as long as it is rated above 3 Watts. The final design of the moth trap comprised of four parts: a box; a funnel; baffles; a lamp holder; and the lamp. The approach adopted was to buy the box, then make the funnel, baffles and lamp holder from suitable plastic sheet. With the addition of some purchased electronic components to regulate the voltage for the UV LED bulb and the inclusion of a dawn dusk sensor, all housed in a food storage box, one can build a cheap working moth trap. If you follow the instructions in the book, you too can have a "0.75 W UV LED Bucket Trap."
