Twin 40w Actinic tubes at the ready

Trying my twin 40w Actinic tubes tonight in place of my 125w MV bulb.
As can be seen from the first picture, they both fit onto a cross-member on top of the suitcase heath trap kindly lent to me from the Boxmoor trust.
The light output is fantastic, and the first night I used it in woodland it outperformed the MV 3-1 moth ratio.
Tonight they are both laying across the funnel of my Robinson collar, in  a vain hope of attracting something different and probably diptera related knowing my luck!
An hour to go until full dark, fingers crossed and pots at the ready in the morning.
