Just thought I would show all of you my (or should I say our) new trap.
It is another 125w MV trap which is rather on the light side and will no doubt become invaluable on our trips out this year.
It comprises of David's electrics (Thanks David) a large plastic storage container with a circular hole cut in the top, then fitted with an upturned lamp shade, then the brass bulb holder screwing into that.
The rain guard was a spare part from Angleps and cost £9, although the long screws and wingnuts had to be purchased seperately from Homebase.
It was also pretty easy to wire up for an amateur like me.

I like the lampshade idea Ben, sort of combines the funnel with a convenient lampholder
ReplyDeleteThanks, yes I bought it for £2 from a Poundstretcher shop, the brass bulb holder screws either side of the lamp holder, a little high up in the funnel for my liking, but it serves its purpose.
