light trap
Darkness-preserving entry device
A light trap is a device that attracts and captures insects using artificial light, typically for pest control or scientific collection.
In photography and darkrooms, a light trap is a structure that allows passage of air or materials while preventing light from entering—baffles, mazes, or overlapping surfaces that block light but not movement: The darkroom door has a light trap so you can enter without exposing the film.
