This comprises of 3x 16w compact actinic bulbs with an ES screw (48w total, no control box needed), set in a row on top of a Skinner trap. This produced almost as many moths as the 40w actinic tube Skinner which I sat by, – so this one had the added benefit of me potting any that did not go in the trap.

Interested to see your high Clouded Drab count as I have found them more abundant in colder and actinic compared to other Orthosias. They seem to fly more readily in a breeze too.
