Dichroma 2 Pack Bug Zapper Replacement Light Bulb 10W for 20W Indoor Bug Zapper, BL T8 F10W Light Tube Compatible with Aspectek, Liba and Other 20W Mosquito Zapper Lamp

Works great

Perfect for my bug zapper, but the bulbs don't keep a long life.

I was unfamiliar with how exactly to install these lights into my bug zapper. It's one of the generic ones you can find here on Amazon. Rectangular, with 2 purple lights running horizontally, similar to an = sign. These lights are purple as well.To install them, I had to insert one of the pins into the slot on both sides of the bug zapper at the same time. I pushed the pins into the slot, and then pushed them up and rotated them around the socket enough to line up the second pin, on both sides, into the same slot the first one was pushed through. Push the second pin into the socket and gently, but firmly, keep rotating the bulb until it's in place.You should be able to tell when it's in place by checking the socket beforehand. You should see 2 little notches and the pins should sit in those notches. However, it seems like the socket can be a little fickle with its connections. If it doesn't seem to work at first, you may need to readjust the bulbs for a better connection. I had to do it 2 times. After installation, neither bulb worked. So, I adjusted them and both worked, but one was flickering. I readjusted that one and it's working fine now.Important to note, you should UNPLUG and clear the bug zapper of electricity before messing with the lights. You'll undoubtedly touch the metal and cause it to shock you otherwise. To clear the bug zapper of any electrical charge, you must first UNPLUG, UNPLUG, UNPLUG the bug zapper. Only after it's unplugged, should you take a metal tool, such as a screwdriver, which also has a rubber handle, and touch that to the metal bars near the light bulbs.Another way to clear the electrical charge, assuming you don't have any tools on hand, is by taking a DRY rag and wetting just the tip of one of the corners. Just enough to connect 2 of the metal bars with the wet area of the rag. You want to hold the rag by the dry ends, further away from the wet area. As long as the zapper is unplugged, you're in no real danger, but you can save yourself a shock by keeping away from the wet area while performing this.

Ordered these to have on hand for my Aspectek bug zapper. First original bulb lasted over two years, so I replaced it with one of these new ones. I'm a little OCD, so I keep a peice of masking take on the side of my zapper annotating when the bulbs were replaced. The new Bulb burned out in less than 2 months. I replaced it again. Then, two and a half months later, the new bulb burned out again. I thought maybe it was because the bulbs needed to be a pair of like products, so I replaced both bulbs (keeping the good OEM bulb as a spare). After two months and forteen days, one of the new bulbs burned out AGAIN!I'm now lookin for a different brand because there's clearly something wrong with these replacement bulbs...unless they're only supposed to last 2 months. The description on Amazon says "More than 3,000 hours (4 months)", but I'm certainly not getting even close to that!I do not recommend these short-lasting bulbs.

Works great! Lasts a long time!
