Mine is packed everyday and I just hit it with the leaf blower to clean it 😊
i have two of these had them for a year, they work like a dream.
These are actually supposed to be used indoors in lamps and such. It kills the little insects that fly inside your bedroom.
it's gigantic bigger than most encasement housing FYI
thank you! was wondering how to turn the light off, and the 10 second thing worked perfect. nice nice.
I have something similar and it does work really well. I clean it one a week. Not bad. Love the bulb.
Oooooooomg! Thank you lol. I put this in my bathroom (Texas mosquitos have no boundaries 😩) and now that it’s bedtime I was trying to figure out how I would sleep with the annoying bright light…I instantly jumped up and tried it! It works! Thank you.
put the dead bugs in (some kind of feeder) for the birds, yes birds will eat the dead bugs..... I was a truck driver an in the summer I would park for the nite an sit an watch the birds eat the dead bugs from my trucks grill....
DARKEST KLOWN Awesome! Kill the pests and feed the birds!
Yes, I frequently see birds jumping up to grab bugs off vehicles grills in parking lots, so they have no shame in eating killed bugs.
Symbiosis?🤔
why would u kill the moths. he just wanted the lämp, and u killed him.
I see a potential problem with rain and moisture - Need to do a proper review and tear down of this unit.
As far as cleaning it, you unscrew the protective plastic grid and there is a brush inside to clean the zapper part. It may not ATTRACT mosquitos (but for sure will kill any that lands on it), but it cost me $15 at Lowe's and it for sure kills insects. I got 25 one night when I put it outside (when there were almost no visible bugs outside), but I mostly keep it on indoors, just in case a bug finds its way in and lands on it.
It doesn't unscrew.
Doesn't come apart.
The light bulb will die out before the blue zapper light does then your left with just the zapper and no way to replace the bulb.
That’s ok, bought this for the zapping power anyways.
Yeah the grid unscrews from the bottom, but it’s useless, there was no brush in mine. Use canister of compressed air to clean.
How do you clean it out and what do you clean it with thank you for your answer
Does it also work with the presence of sunlight on this lamp? I wanted to put in my garden in the part that does not receive rain or sun directly.
This is a moth killer, I had two of them one on each side of the house .I threw them in the trash if you want a real mosquito killer get the zapper or Dynatrap...I have both and no more mosquitoes..I love going outside my house and no mosquitoes
It amazing
Thank you
Oh shit, that looks pretty cool. Anything that murderizes mosquitoes is already darn cool.
Mosquitoes aren't attracted to "Zappers". Don't buy products like this.
Please tell me how this will work with dawn to dusk fixture. Will it come on nightly as the light and zapper feature or just the zapper feature?
A DI just got mine today and I've never seen a bulb so poorly designed it will overheat and only last anywhere from three to six months like everybody else's, bug zapper will continue to operate, I modified Mine by putting a heatsink on the mainboard with heatsink compound and drilled holes for ventilation and I'm going to check the temperature should be much cooler.
A D Meh three to six months is fine by me.
Mine comes apart. For cleaning and also has a little brush inside
My outside porch light has a cover, I would need to remove it correct for use?!!!
You gave me a great idea for an anti-Drone weapon.
I am also an expert in mosquito repellent, but I use self-developed mosquito repellent products
I plugged this thing in and tested the zapping by sticking a screwdriver in the grid and it zapped just like a hand held zapper so it might work. One problem is I don't have a light like yours outside, just motion security lights. Might get one of those plug to socket things if they make them, it's a light socket with a plug on it so you can plug a light bulb into an outlet directly.
Yes they still make them, bought one at the hardware store.
Why do you wanna kill the insects outside if you are inside at night? what are you some kinda avenger?
Do you know whats the irony I watch this and then an app about killing moskitos
how do you figure this is a "normal" light bulb?
You bug killer. Hey i Just Bought 2 of them and i like them thumbs up 👍.
still has to be cleaned daily or more often as it clogs up with insects.
I dont know it looks like a magnet to me.It would work indoors if you have a very good house insulation but outside is like saying "hey over here".
is obligatory to use that type of Swith off ? the doble Swith off/on??
The link does not send me to the same brand. I would like to try this item. What brand is in the video?
Great review. However I believe this works best indoors. Small biting bugs especially mosquitoes are most attracted to UV light. Indoor seems like the best fit for this product. :) Also it's easy to clean with a compressed air duster. Thanks for sharing.
CoolStuff we started to use just now, indoor coz i just want mosquitos to be trapped..
Insects lurk to the TV or any glowing light, yes I’m installing mine indoors.
Thanks! Because this bulb came with no instructions, just says: 3-way functionality.
Just another guy trying to sell you something.
its good?
Good
Yes it gets mosquitoes, but does it get flies?
Fixing part is nut-bolt type pattern. In India, holders are hook type (on two side) so not useful product in India. Also size of upper part of this bulb is quite bigger so can't get fit into Indian type socket holder.
can i connect this on 115 volts power
We have that hanging out outside and I haven't seen it kill any bugs yet.
mine too
Funciona mesmo ou é enrolagem.
.
can this bulb zapper unscrew and cleaning the bugs out from the grill...
what country made this bulb zapper
It's had a little tray, like a grease catcher
I'm here for the sake of my school project.
UV light usage inside house? Is it safe? Doesn't uv light causes cancer?
Mine lasted a week
And it started to make a lot of buzzing sounds. It was so loud that I had to switch it off. And throw it away.
I just found a scorpion stuck in one of our light bulbs!!! 🦂
Loved it put one in the front and in the back at my apartment, because I have two kids I was constantly cleaning it. Moved into my new home i bought I notice all my light are prongs :( gave my lights zappers away
FIN
I had prongs also in my new home and quickly had it changed to regular ol' screw in bulbs. Apparently was easy to do. I had to change about 12 of them in my new home. Now I can just use regular screw in bulbs.
Thanks 💯🇩🇿❤
I bought two and the bug light portion doesn't work on either one, only the light bulb part works.
No instructions, thanks, I wondered how you would change the 3-way functionality. Using indoor to trap those mosquitoes that sneak into the house on my dog or people’s clothing then suck your blood like a vampire while you’re sleeping.
only noob believe mosquito is attracted to light source.
A lot of video show how it work and what it is for but no video shows about the kill of mosquitoes I mean I don't any video of those buzzer lights kill any mosquitoes, how do we know it is really work to kill mosquitoes
Does this kill big moths? (Big, as 10+cm ones) We have a plague in my city and I'm moth phobic
Bought one of these and the bulb burned out within a week. They sent me another one and that one lasted 2 weeks. There are many, many complaints online for just this problem. Junk.
What works? I need something that kills spiders to under the house.
Must be the brand? I have one on my porch that has been going strong for some time. Cleaning it is the issue. Compressed air in the shop blows it right out. What a hassle.
Just bought one and the blue light worked in the first 5 MInutes then only the bulb worked
I don’t have a porch top can it get wet
Does it attract regular house flies?
Daniel Reeves o
As far as I know, UV light doesn't attract fies.
yes it does
RockdriguezM yes it does you do do
The light bulb will die out before the blue zapper light does then your left with just the zapper and no way to replace the bulb.
BTW, I've used mine upside down, same outcome tho
Hi
I really don't like that it kills other critters, what I want is something that kills mosquitos.
In 40000 hours will you make another review on if this still works? :D
Sigma Beast Package labeling says at 3 hours per day the bulb should last 10 years. I'd like to see the pile of fried bugs under the light after 10 years 😂
The light bulb portion fails very quickly on all the bulbs it runs extremely hot and most people only get a maximum of 6 months use before that fails. There is no heat sink on the LED board horrible design
Its doesnt go through to zapper light mode
If everybody starts using this then the Day is not far for the mosquitoes to be in the list of endangered insects🤣🤣🤣
Is it waterproof 💦
But wait. this wouldn't attract mosquitoes. Mosquitoes aren't attracted to light.
yes............they are
AKArainkit
light and CO2 broskie
I searched it up it's true except there not attracted to uv or led@@InDaTruthBeats
Plus it is not battery operated like so many other mosquito zappers that do a lousy job anyway.
40 thousand hours is about 4.5 years ... that's a lot for an electrical device ...
I bought this bug light 6weeks ago the light just quit working,bug part works ,I just wasted 20 dollors
Learn English.
OK so not just are you going to be next to a UV light which will also be attracting mosquitoes but you'll also be killing a smorgasbord of beneficial flying insects which are food for many other lifeforms and you kill very few mosquitoes at the same time. Nice! Die Rocketfella owned Zika!
I know, an old post. But we can use the bulbs in the house, I don't kill indiscriminately. Only mosquito bastards. I live in a swamp currently... So many. My screens are broken too. :p
+ UV is dangerous
I did not see any pesky mosquitoes...
they come with a small brush to clean it
This looks like a humongous fire hazard.
How so?
bugs catch fire in those occasionally....at least the large zappers
This is disposable ?? Or can i change the bulb if broken???
Nope.....The light bulb will die out before the blue zapper light does then your left with just the zapper and no way to replace the bulb.
is this for outdoors only
It is fine to use indoors. It claims on the product page on Amazon that it is for killing "Indoor and outdoor insects." However, after testing it, we would say that it should only be used outdoors in a place that is sheltered from rain.
+MousetrapGenius 40,000 hours!?
Tyrese: I only got 31,000 hours.
More like 100 to 500 maximum on all the bulbs there's no heat sink on the LED board
lito dan If you need this inside your house then you may need something stronger than a bug light, perhaps a roof? I’m not sure, im just making suggestions
Mosquitoes are not attracted to UV lights.
GKAtascosa I looked over all sides of the packaging and it doesn't specify which insects are more susceptible to be attracted to the light. It does state "The zapper utilizes LED and blue UV light to draw in flying insects within an 855 square foot area." For me this suggests it is more effective when both are lit as opposed to just running the UV light. Also, I was going to order through Amazon, but happened to see this in Walgreens for $19.99 as shown on Amazon, who only had 2 left at $19.97 each. I just picked it up at Walgreens to save myself the shipping time and was able to use cash cash card. I hope this was helpful.
Correction: It does say "Kills Mosquitos" so apparently one must have hit the grid during testing, thus a claim was born ;-)
They aren't attracted to light. They're attracted to carbon dioxide from your breath.
What about flying ants? Are they attracted to uv?
I just watched one make a beeline for a light bulb.
how much price
Sunil Khade 11-12 usd
can't works
These likes are crap. Don’t even waste your money. We bought 4 to use in the house and the mosquitos are still flying around like they own the place and biting
The ones I tried were pieces of crap! They don't zapp anything. They don't have the power to zapp anything, bugs just stick to them , would be nicer if you could just shake them out, bit noooo you have to use an air compressor to blow them out! I bought two real big zappers one time at a rummage sale ant they were bug zappers made by Craftsman sold by Sears in the 80s back when we could get something that did what it said!.
Really BAD idea, killing flying insects indiscriminately. You're killing more useful friendly insects than pests.
These uv based "mosquito killers" are weird to me for several reasons. First and foremost mosquitoes are attracted to people by exhaled CO2 primarily, which is why most of the bugs people post that it killed aren't actually mosquitoes.
Secondly placing this outside is stupid because it just kills insects indescriminatly. I know I'll get a bunch of morons telling me to STFU tree hugger but we actually need some insects. With insect populations on the decline killing them every night on purpose with a UV based bulb is just stupid. A lot of harmless bugs get killed for no reason.
If you actually want to reduce the mosquito population on your property get rid of all standing water or treat decorative fountains and water features with mosquito dunks.
Worst product award for killing indiscriminately!
It was found in studies that there was no significant difference in the number of mosquitoes found in yards with or without bug zappers. What is particularly disconcerting, however, is the number of non-pest insects that comprise the vast majority of trap catch. Many of these insects are beneficial predators on other insect pests. They in turn constitute a major part of the diet of many songbirds. Indeed, reduced numbers of moth and beetle prey species have contributed significantly to the decline of songbird populations in many affluent suburbs. Insect electrocution devices undoubtedly bear some responsibility for this phenomenon. Mosquitoes continue to be more attracted to humans than to the devices. One study conducted in homeowners' backyards showed that of the insects killed by these devices, ONLY 0.13% were female mosquitoes.... An estimated 71 billion to 350 billion beneficial insects may be killed annually in the United States by these electrocuting devices.
I'm not getting insect "zappers".
Out of trillions and trillions. c'mon
First comment!
No one cares
No one cares and you have a cod ghosts picture... That's real low.
BITING MOSQUITOES will not flock to this device unless there is a lot of high tech involved? BITING MOSQUITEOS are drawn to human beings by warmth and the CO2 that WE BREATH OUT!
mosquitos are not attracted to uv lights..... epic fail.
3/4 of video wasted time of you talking. Just get to point
Just buy a bug zapper.
