The Flowtron bug zapper is a great product, but bulbs do wear out. The cost of the bulbs are not cheap, but the destruction of bugs by this unit is very good. I use this unit 9 months of the year.

I think this a great product. First one lasted over a year and it runs 24/7, even in the winter.

I know it works, especially in the evenings, due to the more than occasional zap and an abnormal amount of spiders which've smartly made plenty of webs around the cage... but I'm still seeing these smaller, faster, dark flies which like to hang out on patches of dirt which have yet to be covered by grass or weeds. There's neither a garbage can nearby nor is there any other seemingly normal fly "hang-out", but they're still there -- particularly when it's sunny. I've only heard the zapper at work in the evenings and later at night so it must be getting all the mosquitos.
I also purchased the special "fly-lure" but it hasn't completely eliminated the problem. And this is a small backyard (at least it's less than 2,000 square meters, the coverage the device is supposed to have) -- I'd say mine is about 400 at most.
I'll still give it 4 stars since it does do something, and I have noticed a decrease in bug activity in general.

Now it's been over 15 months and the bulb's doing fine.

I bought the BK-15KD by Flowtron, and it has worked like a champ. This replacement bulb is 'just in case' - since the gnats sometimes swarm for weeks at a time in the evenings. The Flowtron has been a champ in keeping the swarms under control, taking hundreds (if not thousands) of gnats out of circulation in a single night. Amazing!

The bulb that came with my Flowtron BK-15D was left on 24 hours a day from August 2010 to June 2011. There was no more blue light to it, so I ordered this replacement bulb (BF-35) even though the description didn't mention its compatibility for my Flowtron BK-15D. It works and it was easy to install. I would give it 5 stars if it lasts longer than a year for its current price.

The back of the packaging lists this bulb to fit:

It was the correct replacement bulb. It works great. I could not find it in a store. It saved me from buying a whole new bug zapper.

It is rare to happen. But, the new bulb lasted about 15 seconds after it was installed. The packaged arrived ok and the bulb looked alright. So, I am wondering if somehow it had a fall on a warehouse floor or was not properly sealed at the factory.

We bought the Flowtron zapper at the beginning of the season and it worked so well that we just want to have an extra bulb on hand for next year.The 5 stars is for the whole zapper(which depends upon this bulb). I am assuming that this one will work just as well.

Yes these items are blubs. Not much else I can say. I have gotten years and years of use out of my bug light by replacing the blub. Everyone should do the same and they will also save money.

I was very please to receive the it. I did not want to buy another bug zapper. This was handed drown from my mother. The bulb worked better than a new one I brought from lowes.

Thanks for having the product. It was what I need to combat the bugs. I am now prepare to win the war on bugs. Smile
