Features of light catching

Mikhail, while they are being frozen. One of these days, I'll straighten out the monopoly. I don't think it's Templey, but something else. Svyatoslav also thinks so. For the Krasnoyarsk Territory and Khakassia, any other dazipolie will be new..

Improved the trap ))

I took a 35-liter tank. I think that's enough.

Added grilles to the funnel. I made grilles with holes so that the light of the lamp passes out, including down, because I will mainly put the trap not on the ground, but on the roof of the car. Or even hang it up. If you make blind walls, they will block out a significant part of the lamp's light. According to my idea, the grid will delay the butterflies around the lamp, so that they beat between the lamp and the grid, and accelerate their fall into the funnel. Slits centimeter wide butterfly size scoops on the fly, imho, will not miss - only if you sit down and squeeze through the gap. But I don't see any reason for butterflies to get out of the illuminated space into the dark. Let's see how they behave.

   So I bought it for this procedure! Before that, I caught very regularly on two 20W. I didn't find any problems, but I tried not to look at them, and the cap with the visor is very well protected.

Are there any results yet?

Well, I somehow write about the results in reports regularly. But I don't always post photos that I would like - every time I have to fight with the site. It gets boring and time is a pity.
On the eyes - I sit in the car, I watch through the windshield, I approach the screen with glasses (I don't always see a small thing clearly). After fishing, I go home 35-60 km, I don't catch any consequences (except for traffic policemen).

And how does it fly in comparison with the 20W UV housekeeper?

I didn't notice much difference . Either it flies or it doesn't. This is, if separately. In the end, I stopped at: 3.5 - 4.0 m-40W, below-2.0 - 2.5 m-20W. Not a single hawk moth passes by - the upper one unfolds them, and the lower one throws them on the screen. There is one inconvenience-some of the moths around the upper lamp curl and do not want to go down in any way. Then I turn off the upper one for 10 minutes, wait for landings, and then turn it on again. Scoops, bears, and crested birds go straight to the screen. Something like that, in short.

I don't play with DRL girls. Oh, if you want illumination, then I'll turn on the DRVSHKU. So far, there are enough savings accounts.

Dear forumchane! Perhaps this message will be interesting for those who use a gasoline generator for night fishing. Sometimes there may be a problem from clogging the carburetor with poorly cleaned gasoline. For me, this was expressed in floating engine speeds, and then it just stalled. With further operation, the problem only worsened. At the beginning of the summer, this caused the disruption of one very interesting trip. Now the carburetor has been cleaned, the generator is working, but the low-quality gasoline from gas stations has not gone anywhere.
The solution was suggested by a good engine specialist. In an auto shop, you can buy a fine gasoline filter (you can buy the cheapest one, for classic Zhiguli, at a price of 60 rubles, as in photo 1). Then, similarly cheap fuel hoses are attached to it from both sides (see photo 2) (you can buy 1m and cut it into 2 halves to save money). And now, using the suction method, as long-distance drivers often do, gasoline is passed through the filter from the canister to the generator tanks. IMPORTANT POINT: on the fuel filter there is an arrow for the direction of gasoline flow (see photo 1). The device is very effective in the conditions of a wild province, where good gasoline may not be available and is economical (the entire design fits into 200 rubles).
And one more thing. Most gasoline generators are designed for 92 gasoline. If you pour 95 into them, and even more so, 98, it will work well, but the generator engine valves will burn and it will last less. So better 92, but clean. Have a great season!

Tell me if it is effective to lure bedbugs into the light, specifically interested in shields. Everywhere I hear mostly about beetles and butterflies.

Various bedbugs fly to the light willingly, but I don't remember exactly the shields, they seem to be daytime.

Yes, of course. Not in the same quantity as scales and caddis flies, but they fly.

Well, tat and some diaries come to light.

Can you tell me if the power of the 350W inverter is enough to connect the 125W DRL, and in general, has anyone tried to connect the drl through the inverter?

Can you tell me if the power of the 350W inverter is enough to connect the 125W DRL, and in general, has anyone tried to connect the drl through the inverter?

Should suffice

not fact

Can you tell me if the power of the 350W inverter is enough to connect the 125W DRL, and in general, has anyone tried to connect the drl through the inverter?

the starting power of the DRL is equal to the rated power multiplied by 3. in theory, the inverter needs 125x3=375 W. but it can start several times. although it will most likely burn out after a couple of launches. drv is easier to start through inverters.

I have a 250W DRL, 600W inverter, plus after starting the DRL, I turn on two more UV housekeepers of 26W each. Everything has been working for several years, this season there are more than 20 nights. For a long time there was an inverter for 300, or 350W, DRV (I don't remember the power, most likely 250) from it did not light up, constantly blinked, shone with a housekeeper 75W and a UV housekeeper 26W, DRL on the old inverter did not try.

the starting power of the drl is equal to the rated power multiplied by 3.

It seems that it was always required to double the rated power?

I have two DRL 250 light up from a 900W generator. True, the voltage given out to them is not very bright and does not shine as brightly as from the network.

Greetings to all, I wanted to ask a question about screens, while viewing reports in the section, I noticed that a certain thin fabric like a mesh is often used for the screen.
I wanted to know what it's called, where to buy it, and if there are any analogues?

a thin mesh-like fabric.

I don't remember what it's called, it's sold in many fabric stores.

I think it's a mosquito net

Or, alternatively, try organza.

We have flying pentatoms, acanthosomes and other tree species. But for example, I have never seen cruciferous or hemispherical plants in the world.

This fabric can be found in stores that specialize in selling all kinds of window curtains and drapes. Sellers claim that it is tulle.
Be sure to bring a good magnifying glass with you, so as not to buy a fabric with a simple crossing of threads. Choose only with interweaving, as in the photos you gave.
By the way, I made nets out of this "tulle" - oddly enough, they don't even cling to blackberries.

Does anyone have any experience shining from Power Bank?
Now there are a number of Power Banks that issue 12 V.
I would like to know the practical experience of using it, not the calculated data. In reviews, no one demonstrates the use of cans for 12 V. at best, charging laptops.
The declared capacity, for example, 20 000 mAh is indicated at the rate of 3.7 V, for 5 V they already write 12-14 000, and how much for 12 V?

I watch this topic regularly, I thought I missed something , but no, on that page we are talking about batteries, large and powerful .
I am interested in a Power Bank for phones with a declared capacity of 20000-30000 mAh, weighing 400-600 g. with the possibility of 12 V output, for connecting a UV lamp for 12 V with a power of 15 W. (images don't load)

There is a Power Bank with a declared capacity of 20000 mAh. Outputs 2xUSB + 12/16 / 18V. For an 18W lamp, it lasts for 5.

  
I am interested in a Power Bank for phones with a declared capacity of 20000-30000 mAh, weighing 400-600 gr. with the possibility of 12 V output

The first link shows the following specifications: 20000 mAh 3.7 v (74Wh). In terms of 12 volts, this will be 6.17 A/h. But this is ideal. In reality, as far as I understand, 12 volts are obtained there by converting from 3.7, which means that you can throw away 20 percent of the loss. We get 4.93 A/h. This is provided that the declared capacity is honest, and not "Chinese". If it's Chinese, then you can divide it by 2, and the net result is 2.47 A/h.

On the second link, the technical characteristics are not enough, but in the reviews there is information that there are three cans of 10 A/h inside. Based on this, the parameters should be as follows: 30000 mAh 3.7 v (111Wh). Well, then calculate by the same formulas what will turn out in the dry balance....

I think that if you put lithium, it is much more efficient to buy placer cans and independently assemble the battery for the desired capacity. In addition to the cans, you will need a controller and plastic bindings for cans for easy assembly.
Here it is popularly described and shown how you can build an accumulator for your needs. And even links to where to buy.

Has anyone tried to catch on a xenon lamp? What are the results and impressions?

Has anyone tried to catch on a xenon lamp? What are the results and impressions?

Outstanding . In Soviet times, they shone once with a 5KW DCST lamp. In Turkmenistan. It was as if the entire desert had come to us, including the diurnal lizard species. Illumination - as from a dozen DRL 250. But the second time to shine did not work: during the start-up, the electricity in the shield of the military unit was cut off. I think there's even smoke coming out. To avoid this, we no longer tried to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the troops of the 5th Guards Red Banner Kushkinskaya various orders and other motorized rifle divisions (although most of it was in Afghanistan at that time) did not catastrophically decrease - initially, the lamp was mounted to light the parade ground in front of the hangars on alarm.
In fact, the spectrum of these lamps is not the worst, there is a tube of quartz glass without phosphor, and if used without the protective glass of the lamp, they give a lot of UV, but in % of the total radiation is noticeably less than DRL. At the same time, their specific light output (per 1W) is significantly lower than that of DRL, they do not live long, and they have monstrous inrush currents of several tens of kilovolts (not only because of the power - I have not seen them less than 2 kW, but also because of the principle of operation-there is plasma at the cathode). It seems that the connection of the starter is there at 380V, in different phases. I can't imagine their non-stationary use.

Ah, well, for our purposes, they are a little better than incandescent lamps in the spectrum. They have a fairly even spectrum without peaks, which provides good color reproduction, but it is in the region of 300-400nm that the radiation is much lower (in % of the total) than in DRL lamps, which have a local peak there (sometimes several). Of course, something will fly, and it really flew when I shone the xenon bulbs of my car on the screen , but it seems no better than if the same thing is done with halogen bulbs. In addition, as far as I know, special glass is used there (at least from good manufacturers), which cuts UV shorter than 380nm, which can lead to destruction and yellowing of the plastic of the headlights. Plus, the power is small, 35 or 50 watts usually. It is better to take a 50W DRL, although my experience shows that DRLs less than 125 W are noticeably less efficient.
Now there are special high-tech mercury-xenon lamps that give a fairly high % UV output due to the" mercury " peak (although mainly in the area closer to 300nm on both sides), but they are still rare, expensive and designed for special equipment.

Can you tell us more about these special lamps?
And what other lamps exist that are similar in UV radiation to DRL?
