LED01 White Compact LED Heath Moth Trap
We sell our LEDs throughout the world and are leading the way in this type of design for recording and surveying moths.
A moth trap we would not suggest for everyday use in a UK garden due to low catches but is an ideal choice for overseas travel to Europe and beyond where the moth density is higher. Using 2x 2w LED units which have been extensively tested by Chris Williams, Dave Grundy and Jon & Adelene Clifton in the UK, Ireland, Spain and the US over the past two years. With results approaching a single 15w actinic in species and numbers.
Made from a special white polypropylene which will reflect the UV rather than absorbing it like other materials. UV spectacles recommended for this moth trap. Available from ALS. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions before purchase.
Very lightweight moth trap made from white reflective durable polypropylene which reflects UV.
Easy to assemble. Fully flat packs.
Dimensions: Box height 25cmx25cmx28cm. Total height with vanes 40cm.
Weight: Moth trap complete 1.7kg (not including battery)
Will run from Powerbank batteries, see our batteries section or moth trap kits on our web site.
Choice of cable with the trap - choose to match your battery type.

An innovative and useful bit of additional kit – it has allowed me to trap at a number of sites in New Zealand I couldn’t have taken an MV & generator to including the top of a tower in the canopy in the Pureora Forest and on native high altitude forest near Mount Cook. I’m taking it on ferry to Stewart Island tomorrow. - Sean Clancy, Kent
Last year I got an 8Ah Lithium battery and associated 15W Actinic bulb and electronics and I used these with a white sheet very successfully. However I am now wanting to run my equipment all night so have purchased two of the LED units from ALS which will give me 18 hours on my 8Ah lithium battery. - Peter, Suffolk
I used this trap on a trip to Croatia in mid-April. It is very light and easy to carry fully erected with one hand and runs on an 8AH battery, small enough to hold in one hand. The trap folds flat very neatly for transport. The whole unit is very robust. The airport handlers managed to break a large glass jar, even though packed in a hard suitcase, but the LED trap and the two LEDs were not affected. Catches were a bit disappointing but I was trapping (with permits) up to 3500 feet up in the Biokova National Park on cool clear nights where the temperature dropped to 40F (4C). The weather was generally disappointing and everything was late. I didn’t have an actinic trap for comparison but I think this LED trap is just as good and it will be my trap of choice when travelling by plane. - Adrian Spalding, Cornwall
On the windswept Rathlin Island off Northern Ireland, our catches are very small compared with most places whichever type of trap we use! However, since converting our old 6W actinic trap to the pair of LED lights, we have had consistently better results. The best night with the LEDs was about 330 moths of 57 species, which is good for us! - Ric Else
