Why Proper UV Light is Crucial for Effective Pest Control:
Insect zappers and fly killers work by emitting UV-A light (often referred to as "black light"), which is highly attractive to a wide range of flying insects like flies, moths, gnats, and some species of mosquitoes.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Optimal UV-A Attraction (365nm Wavelength): Our BL T8 F10W bulbs emit a specific wavelength of UV-A light (typically around 365nm), which is precisely what attracts most flying insects.
This ensures your bug zapper remains a powerful magnet for pests, luring them away from you and your food. - Designed for 20W Electric Fly Killers: These 10-watt, 13-inch (approx.
330-345mm total length including pins) T8 UV lamp tubes are engineered to be compatible with a wide range of popular 20W indoor electric fly insect killers, bug zappers, and mosquito killer devices. (Always check your original bulb's specifications and measurements to ensure a perfect fit). - T8 Tube Type: "T8" refers to the bulb's diameter (8/8ths of an inch, or 1 inch).
This standard size ensures compatibility with the fixtures designed for T8 fluorescent tubes. - Long-Lasting Effectiveness (Replace Annually): While these bulbs can physically last for thousands of hours (often up to 8,000 hours), their effective UV-A output typically starts to diminish significantly after around 7,000 hours (or approximately 9-12 months of continuous use). Replacing them annually ensures your fly killer operates at peak efficiency, providing consistent pest control.
- Convenient 2-Pack: Stock up and save! This 2-pack provides you with a spare bulb, ensuring you're ready for your next replacement and can maintain uninterrupted pest control.
- Indoor Use Optimized: These bulbs are specifically designed for indoor electric insect killer devices, providing a chemical-free method to keep kitchens, dining areas, living rooms, and other indoor spaces free from bothersome flying insects.
- Safe Handling: UV-A light, while effective for attracting insects, is generally considered safe for humans and pets under normal operating conditions within a properly designed bug zapper housing.
However, it's always recommended to avoid direct, prolonged eye or skin exposure to the UV light.
Simple Installation:
Replacing your fly killer bulbs is typically a straightforward process. Ensure your bug zapper is unplugged before carefully removing the old bulb and inserting the new BL T8 F10W tube into the designated lamp holders.
Don't let diminished light compromise your peace of mind. Keep your indoor spaces truly pest-free with fresh, powerful UV-A illumination.
