The Moonlander Moth Trap & Goodden Light
The Moonlander is a lightweight, portable trap well suited to remote fieldworkers and travelling entomologists. Its relatively low price compared with other traps has also given it a popular following with first-time moth trappers. The trap packs flat and weighs only 1.47 kg (including light and electrics but not battery). The Moonlander comes paired with the revolutionary Goodden Light – in field trials in remote areas this has shown itself to be more effective than other portable lights. With no need for mains supplies, weighty cables or generators this trap is super versatile and super portable.
The Moonlander design is somewhat different from many of the other traps on the market. It features a ground floor entrance that increases retention as moths cannot fly up and out of the trap.
We offer the Moonlander & Goodden Light together as a set (battery not included) or you can fit your own MV electrics or actinic electrics in the Moonlander. You can also buy the Goodden light separately to add to an existing trap.
More about the Goodden Light
The Goodden Light runs off a 12 v battery (not included), has a light sensor to turn itself off in daylight and generates more ultraviolet than an actinic bulb whilst using less power.

Accessories
has anyone had success with the moonlander / gemlight?
I’m wondering if moths don’t just congregate on top , outside the trap, rather than entering from below ?
Don’t waste your time or money. Poorly designed, badly conceived, ill fitting components and far from successful at actually trapping any moths
Trap is poorly designed and the instructions for set up inadequate. Having said that I worked out that the light needs to be placed at the top facing down preferably with something white underneath.
