BensBeasts1 Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 I know we have discussed this before but I am in search of a light for a light trap that can fit in a suitcase, possibly one that doesn’t require a cord basically runs on batteries.

JKim Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Lights that do not require a cord to attach to a power source... Are you referring to battery powered light? Then I would suggest you to search for battery powered lanterns, such as: https://www.ebay.com/itm/313392864895https://www.ebay.com/itm/303829089885 These battery powered lanterns are okay if you actually use it at where beetles occur, but... not a great trap. Don't expect a great result with such a tiny light.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevink Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Try Bioquip for lights built for the purpose, they have corded, battery, and lights that use both. They'll definitely fit in a suitcase, and try looking at Goal Zero for batteries you can transport. Just be prepared to spend the money to get things that work. I've read a bit about using LED lights for moths, frankly, I don't see the purpose, unless it's simply for energy usage. I think the results are still debatable. Nothing wrong with ebay, if you stick to a seller that knows what they're doing and answers your questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynastes TItyus hunter Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 The generator is the worst part of light traps for beginners because they are expensive. I'd just get the materials EXCEPT the generator and if you have a big backyard that leads to a forest, you can just set it up on your deck or something. I got 6 adult Dynastes Tityus last year. I did it on my deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
