Re: Light collecting

Thanks for all the suggestions. I was doing some searching and I found these. Do you think these would work for the mercury vapor light? https://bulborama.com/collections/self-ballasted-mercury-vapor-bulbs/products/sb160-160-watt-solar-brite-pet-lamp-coated-white-glass-mercury-vapor-reptile-light-bu...

Light collecting

Hi again, I am currently looking for a good insect collecting light. I was wondering if mercury vapor lights are actually worth it and if so, do the ones with frosted bulbs work? If you guys have any other recommendations for lights, I would love to hear them.
Thanks,
Mason

Insect collection cleaning

Hi there, I was just wondering if any of you have found a good way to clean your specimens. The ones in my collection that need cleaning are mainly
small coleoptera and are covered in dust. Are there any quick ways to solve this without breaking my collection?
