Which bulb to choose (1 Viewer)

[cliffhanger]

I have just moved from UK to British Columbia and am in the process of building a new moth trap, having left my 240 volt one with friends. Having trouble sourcing mercury vapour bulbs but best I can find is this site any advice on which if any would be suitable most gratefully received.

When I start catching moths will have to post some pics on here.
Any Canadian mothers on the forum??

Cheers

I use a 125mv bulb of which there seems to be just one listed on this site. Seems a bit extreme to have them imported, Anglian Lepidopterist Supplies are nearer:

I've had bulbs from this lot which seemed very satisfactory... and they used to do cheap chokes though i haven't had time to look just now.

Again, pretty sure Pete is going to prefer a Canadian supplier.

BLT is an American company, I believe. But of course, if there is one in BC, that would be fine and dandy (as they used to say in the Westerns when I was a kid).
BTW, BC is a fabulous place, I'm jealous of Cliffhanger!

Thanks for the replies, they reminded me to change my location in my profile, to avoid any further confusion.
