Yes I guessed the nm would be way out.<br />There has been extensive tests with leds and generally they have proved unsuccesful....but I use a cree led torch when I am out mothing and I get plenty flying towards the beam.<br />I best stick to thoroughbred meat then!Bennyboymothmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16982443515789714821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82473023139760274.post-68024543779844215122013-04-13T07:46:15.845+01:002013-04-13T07:46:15.845+01:00The lights could be the drawback ...

They are white L.E.D.'s and about as bright as say an 80 watt MV (will do a Lux test later), but they are outside of the light spectrum range of the usual lights, e.g. actinic, blacklight, mercury etc. but that can be overcome.<br />The lamp wattage is the key to keeping down the weight, which is mainly the battery. <br />We are going to field test it against an identical trap with actinic/blacklight combo over a series of evenings to see if there is a marked difference.<br />Oh by the way Ben, the horsemeat scare has even affected Veggie burgers... Scientist have found traces of Uniqorn in them and they give you the trots ....<br />Trent Duvalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03375081875501120850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82473023139760274.post-69624530801173764342013-04-13T06:28:36.147+01:002013-04-13T06:28:36.147+01:00Wow, I am liking this new trap idea.
