A Portable Power and Control System for the Operation of Low-wattage Argon Lamps Used in Insect Light Traps

Abstract: Light traps using incandescent lamps operated on 115-volt commercial power have been used in studies in Saskatchewan of the lepidopterous pests of rapeseed crops. However, there was a need for a light trap that could be operated in areas remote from electric power. Because of the proven usefulness of low-wattage argon lamps in pink bollworm detection investigations (Glick 1961), and their low power requirements, these lamps were used experimentally in the portable power and control system described here.
