Don't buy them for your zapper!

0 The stars would be more accurate! Wrong bulbs, they are white light not black light! Didn't last 6 months. I have 2 units. This year I ran one 24/7 and the other with a light sensor. The one on the sensor lasted 5 days longer. The originals lasted 3 years. 24/7 365, never turned off. I threw away the whole pad and bought another brand from Wally World for $15 less than the whole pad. What a rip off.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Almost never

Works perfectly! on Bulbs

Exactly the same as in my original zapper. I don't understand why some of them are different color? My light stopped working and I wasn't sure if that meant the unit was broken too. But I received the bulb thinking I could try it and if it didn't work just send it back. - Came wrapped in bubble wrap so it was well protected. - Easy to install in an existing bracket. I had to give it one last push to get it all the way down, but it was easy. All in all, this is a great replacement. I hope itโ€ฆ

Great replacement bulb but be careful

I bought a replacement for my zapper. The last one I bought here lasted me 3 years. I've had it for a long time and I've used it quite a bit inside and outside the house. During the summer, mosquitoes and flies came into my house from my backyard and I used the zipper both inside and outside. This pear lasted a long time and destroyed all the flies. It is easy to install, but please note that the size is too big for the Flowtron zapper. It's bigger than the original that came with it. It stillโ€ฆ

I will use it 24/7

I bought a BK-40D last year. After working 24/7 last summer (June-September). I plugged it in this year and found the lightbulb flashing blue and orange. I realized it was time to order a new one. I looked here at Revain and found this pear. For the price you can't beat it. I bought it immediately and I received it fairly quickly. When I received my new lightbulb, I noticed that it came in an empty box. The lamp itself was very well protected with bubble wrap. After receiving it, I brought myโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Not automatic

Expensive and bright best bulbs

Like most people I bought a cool Flowtron bug trap and a year later the bulb blew out. Shocked to learn it costs nearly $30 to replace a lightbulb. I can see how that would make the company quite wealthy as there are no cheaper alternatives so the choice is someone's. This light bulb is white and the light bulb I had was black so now I have to move, the bug is flying off the porch cause my eyes hurt. After all, the job is done and it works well, but you can't tell me the company isn't makingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Clean with a bellows :)

My BK-40 stopped working after 11 months. I thought it was a lightbulb so I checked and it had a black spot in it so that was bad. This bulb came, I changed it and it still didn't work. Then I looked at the starter bulb in the block and that was bad too. I ordered a starter lamp from Flowtron and it arrived. Installing the new starter bulb was very easy. Connected and it works with errors! Now I'll have a timer on a timer, so maybe it will take longer. Before that, it was active 24/7 for 11โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

Only lasted about 1.5 months (lights up at night only)

My Flowtron bug killer has a built in light sensor so it only turns on at night. This lamp was only used 9 hours a day in the 1.5 months that I have been using it. I bought this tuber in April 2019 and kept it with me until mid-May 2021; when I started using it in my bugkiller. About 2 weeks ago (July 1, 2021) the light started blinking and blinking off. In fact, it never went out but rather blinked in and out while various parts of it never returned while others went in and out. The lampโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality construction
