[Nhcoll-l] UV light traps

[Michael Elgey]

Hi
We have currently bought several light traps from to help with pest monitoring (mainly Stegobium paniceum).  Has anyone had any experience with these and know what the best height to have them installed at and if there is an adverse human affect due tho their UV output? The UV wavelength is 350 - 375 which we know is not ideal for a cultural collection yet these will be installed in work areas where we have no herbarium specimens out for long periods of time.
