Works perfectly! best in Brach and Brach

Replacement bulb works great and has been working for 2 years now. It is very difficult to fit into the Flowtron compartment. My husband helped me with this. The original lamp that came with the Flowtron stopped working immediately after a month or two and appeared defective. I have a 1/2 acre Flowtron that has run for 5 years without a bulb change and I have a 1 1/2 acre that had that bulb replaced immediately, but the spare bulb continues to work great.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Revain steals from customers who buy this Bk-80 Bug Killer.

This error protection works great in the beginning. A few months pass, he stops clinging to bugs. Need replacement bulbs which cost $40. Replaced a lightbulb and it worked again. Shortly thereafter, the same bulb blew out. Used second replacement lamp bought earlier. Nothing good will come of it, and it hasn't happened since the lightbulbs were changed before. Replacement bulbs are too expensive. Revain scams anyone who buys these replacements, half the bulbs don't work out of the box. Look…

Pros
  • Broad spectrum
Cons
  • Minor problems

Works great, easy to install

Got them today and they work fine. Easy Installation - UNPLUG the unit, unscrew the two screws that secure the plastic cover to the top of the unit, and then the four screws that secure the lamp platform. Raise the platform carefully. Remove old bulbs and insert new bulbs. BE CAREFUL when lowering new bulbs back into the block. Mine stayed in place when I lowered them into the unit, but they don't seem very tight and break easily if dropped. Proceed in reverse order to reassemble the device…

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Functionality

I give 4 stars for the bulb and prompt delivery. Flowtron insect repellents are not that many. It took me two attempts to change the bulb. Each time the bulb arrived on time and worked perfectly. But I broke the first bulb during installation (and it seems I'm not the only one who has had this experience). The lamp mount on the Flowtron 80W igniter is awkward. It is very difficult to install a new lightbulb without breaking it. Too much force is required to reinsert the latch. So in the second…

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • There are nuances

I read in other reviews that these bulbs break easily when fitted. I found the install worked very well without making any changes to the bottom tabs as stated in some of the reviews I read. I accomplished this by removing the plastic cage/lid, replacing the bulbs, and carefully reinstalling the plastic cage/lid. I haven't even tried swapping the bulbs with the bottom tabs on the bulb holder. I firmly believe that I would break lightbulbs if I tried to replace them this way. Just a few screws…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I don't remember

It doesn't seem to work as well or as well as the one I had 15 years ago.

I have had a Flowtron BK-80D since the beginning of last summer 2014 and now both bulbs have to be replaced. The first failed about 2 months after purchase. The second was about a week ago on 7/2015. The BF-150 bulb I ordered this year did not fit the socket because the four pins were two large ones. So I ground the pins and the pear fitted. I also noticed that when I first bought my BK-80D last year, the lamp tips turned orange instead of blue. So I flipped the bulbs over and put them in and…
