Light traps for moths (with limited power sources)

With a group of friends we were looking to set up a light trap to attract moths. A professor of ours and other friends who have already done it suggested using UVB lights, actinic lights, LED or neon, the problem being they all need to be hooked to the car battery or some other power source which we won’t be able to do given the location where we will be. So my question is, can anyone suggest a light source that is effective but doesn’t require a hook up? Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
