Flowtron BF-150 Replacement Bulb for BK-80D, FC7600 and Wall Sconce Models, Black, 1 Count (Pack of 1)

I read other reviews mentioning that these bulbs break easily on installation. I found the install to work very well without any modifications to the lower tabs as indicated on some reviews I read. I achieved this by removing the plastic cage/cover, replaced bulbs and carefully reinstall the plastic cage/cover. I didn’t even attempt to replace the bulbs using the lower bulb retainer tabs. I strongly believe I would have broken the bulbs trying to replace them that way. Just a few screws to remove all the plastic housing and it also gave me a chance to clean the entire unit. The bulbs were indeed different from the original bulbs that shipped with the unit, but by replacing them this way I felt very confident that they were not going to break. My unit required two bulbs to be purchased as I have the Flowtron BK-80D. Someone mentioned the direction of the bulb mattered so I just made sure I kept the orientation of the bulb the same by using the lettering on the bulb as reference. I hope this helps someone in the future as I was quite nervous purchasing these replacement bulbs knowing others have had complications in installing them. They are expensive, but replacing them was much appreciated after I saw how much of a significance in the reduction of bugs with the new bulbs installed.

The bulb and prompt delivery get the 4 stars. The Flowtron bug zapper not so many. It took me two tries at replacing the bulb. Each time the bulb arrived on time, and worked just fine. But I shattered the first bulb on installation (and it seems that I'm not the only one that has shared this experience). The bulb retainer on the Flowtron 80W zapper is a pain. It is very difficult to install a new bulb without shattering it. Too much force is required to reinstall the retainer. So on the 2nd go-round I made a modification (see picture). I placed the retainer on a block of wood and used a 3/4" wood chisel to split each of the retainer tabs into 5. Installation was easy after that. The modified retainer holds the bulb just fine.

The light arrived well packed with no damage. It works great! Its been zapping bugs every second or two with no problems! Its been zapping lots of mosquitos especially because of all the rain weve had here in my area. I bought an extra bulb for it and it comes with a mosquito attractant that you place underneath the frame but i didnt install it as it definatly killing mosquitos and other insects without it. I do reccomend keeping it clean as possible and making sure theres not a bunch of bugs stuck all around it. Do not use a waterhose to clean it! I placed mine 25 ft from my porch. Any closer and it draws bugs. I use a raggedy old feather duster to brush it and keep it clean. Its a great light and doing its job. Love it!! Highly reccomended! Great quality! Thanks! Debra C. Tx

I bought these Flowtron BF-150 Replacement Bulb for my current Flowtron lamp and they were a direct replacement. For those who don't know what these lamps essentially due to the Flowtron lamp is that it is part of a process where the bulb is a UV lamp that acts like a warm spot, in which Mosquitos and other critters get attracted to. The Bulb isn't the one that ends the life of the Mosquitos. There are many parts and factors in the lamp that play a role in annihilating these guys. The Bulb distributes UV and acts like a artificial sunlight of some sort and most bugs get attracted to light sources. The Cartridges attract more of these critters if the UV doesn't work on them and around these two things is a electrical barrier that essentially knock them out with high voltage. A person like me using this almost every night, the bulb essentially does give out and needs to be replaced. very easy to take off in install. Just remember to unplug the whole unit off before doing so or else, you will also get zapped, and it won't be a pleasant one. They work well, and they do the job. Bought two as backup just in case of Mosquito season.

This came in a very timely fashion, was packaged very well and was EXACTLY what I needed. Excellent quality, very affordable price and I will definitely we ordering again from this company!!!

Works as advertised.

One of the bulbs doesn’t work

Just received these today and they are working fine. Easy install - UNPLUG the unit, remove two screws retaining the plastic cover on top of the unit and then four screws holding the bulb platform in place. Lift platform out gently. Remove old bulbs and snap in new bulbs. BE CAREFUL lowering the new bulbs back into the unit. Mine held in place as I lowered them into the unit but they don't seem to be fasten in very tight and would easily break if dropped. Work in reverse to put the unit back together. The original bulbs lasted two years and I am hoping to get that or more out of these.

Works amazing! We can finally enjoy our deck and yard again without being swarmed!
