I've not had that problem with mine. However, mine usually only last about a year.
Any bulb supplier, Just get the number off the bulb. Bulbman (you can search it) has the best prices, I buy them regularly myself.
The light bulb zapper attracts insects with light and then electrocutes them when they come into contact with the electrified grid surrounding the bulb.
When purchasing a bug zapper bulb, look for features like high voltage output, UV light attraction, energy efficiency, and compatibility with your existing bug zapper device.
No, it sounds as if the transformer is out. The transformer provides the zap. If your light was wired to that directly you would not be getting light. Perhaps, an electical fire but no ultraviolet light. I would not be suprised if the brand you have is a Stinger. If it is, junk it, and go buy from Sears. They sell Flowtrons.
The best features to look for in a bug zapper light bulb for effective insect control are a high voltage output, a wavelength attractive to insects, and a durable construction.
Make sure you have it connected properly. If you do, then it's just the bulb. Return your new bulb for a different one. This happened to me once.
You can obtain a Charmglow Bug Zapper UV bulb at home improvement stores such as Home Depot or Lowe's, as well as online retailers like Amazon. Additionally, check specialty outdoor or pest control stores for availability. Always ensure to confirm compatibility with your specific bug zapper model before purchasing.
I'm sure you can get them somewhere online. search by bulb no.
Zapper light bulbs can help control insects in outdoor spaces by attracting and killing bugs using UV light. This can reduce the annoyance of bugs and potential health risks from insect bites.
Yes--the transformer can be replaced--However, as far as I can learn, the replacement part is only available thru the manufacturer, and the part would cost almost as much as a new, complete bug zapper--SO-O-O-O---it would seem that these are basically a "disposable" item--if anything goes wrong with it, other than the bulb--it's gonna be best to just toss it and get a new one--cost is about $45.00 on some very good models--mine was the 1-acre of coverage model, and that thing ran for days in "ON" mode, and lasted for years--
When the bug zapper light turns red, it typically indicates that the device is either malfunctioning or requires maintenance, such as cleaning the collection tray or replacing the bulb. Some models use a red light to signal that the unit is powered on but may not be actively zapping insects. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific meanings related to your particular bug zapper model.
Three parts of an electric bulb might include the filament, the actual bulb, and the base.
