For one thing this bulb does the job for not for a long period of time, it just does not last long and at the price that they cost, I am not happy with it. One more thing, I just noticed in the listing that this is a close out item! What happens when they run out? Throw away the entire unit? Also, consider that for around $10 more one can buy a brand new unit and it comes with the bulb. I will try Home Depot or Lowes and see what happens as far as cost is concerned.

The light came in perfect condition. This was a replacement bulb from the original Flowtron Bug Zapper purchase. The original bulb lasted just over two (2) years.

It was easy to remove the old and insert the new bulb. Works like a champ.

Seller was fantastic with great service and mailing.

I ordered this replacement bulb on March 22, 2009 and today's date is July 27, 2009 and it burned out 2 days ago! That's only 4 months and at $21.99 for a replacement bulb it should last allot longer than that!! I, too, noticed that it's a close out item and that no returns will be honored.....therefore I think I'll go to my local Wal Mart and buy another brand bulb and if necessary spend a few dollars more and get another brand bug zapper....one that I can trust!! I bought the Flowtron one only 1 year ago....had to replace the bulb approximately 8 months later....what a waste of money! I gave it two stars because while it did work...it did a good job. No better job than any other unit, however.

This UV bug light bulb arrived quickly and in good shape. The bug light now work fine. I would buy again from this seller.

title sais it all. Looking for a replacement bulb after 6,5 years of summer use. ok, divide that times two since we didn't use it all year long and there you have a 3+ years life span.

I tried to find information before ordering these bulbs , I found it hard to find what I needed , but Amazon recommended this bulb as a replacement for my Flowtron BK-80D but it is about 3 inches too short it does work still but it can fall out there is nothing holding it in because it does not reach the bottom plastic bracket.
This bulb must be for the smaller model. (NOT FOR THE 80 WATT) there was some confusion if the 80 watts was 40 watts times 2, I still don't know because the bulb is just as bright as the other one and only 3" shorter.

Very effective bulb that has killed thousands (maybe millions) of bugs among all of the ones I have running on my property. The bulb typically lasts a season and a half running non-stop. Overall, a superb bulb. I did have one that lasted a very short period of time, but 99% of them last a very long time. I saw the other reviews, but I think they are abnormal situations.

Replacementvbulb for my bug zapper is not sold anymore at any store. Thanks to my search in Amazon I found the right part for a very reasonable price.

These bulbs are pretty universal. I like these better that the BF215 as they are brighter during the day. I have my bug lights on 24/7 until the bugs get under control. Just moved here so it may take a little time. These are priced right.

The replacement bulb has been installed and works properly. The bulb attracts flying insects away from our rear entrance and the electrodes of the Flotron fries those which enter. bottom line?
We don't have a mosquito problem around our breezeway! I highly
recommend Flotron products.
