I owned this same unit in 1976. Worked great. I don't know what I did with it now. So I just ordered two as I am on 1 acre lot & will hang in separate locations. You won't go wrong with this instrument.
It's awesome! Mine is in the yard near a lake zapping bugs like a arch welder vs a firecracker. All night kills an amazing amount of bugs. It is absolutely full some mornings but a simple rinse with the garden hose and it's clean like new. We place it away from the outdoor chairs at the corner of the house. Attracts bugs away from us and certainly kills them. Going strong several months now.
how is it with flies during the day. I just bought a Stinger 3n1 bug zapper and wasn't impressed. Seems like the vintage zappers from the 80s with the wire mesh on the outside worked wonders.
Thanks for the video. Well executed. I would like to ask you few questions please, Does it run on 110V 60hertz or 220v 50hertz? ALso did u install the cartridge too?
Its the 110 volt model, there are 220 volt models available for sale, the power circuit is pretty basic for the light and kill grid, so it might work just fine with a decent heavy duty step down transformer. Heavy duty as in metal construction and has enough cooling to handle running 24/7 with the loads.
Hey! I'm from Germany and want to buy it but I'm not sure if it's worth to buy it from Amzon US because in the German Amazon there is no product from Flowtron....
Good tip! This was kind of a temporary deal, as I was too excited to start zapping. I was actually planning on siliconing the plastic casing to the cord and making it semi permanent.

Do you unplug it when you hose it down?😬⚡💥
@@tarasbulba3190 yes I have since moved and left it in place for the next tenant because trust me they will need it next to the lake.
Need to keep it on 24-7 so that they will learn that spot it will still zap in the day time to.
Hi! We're so happy you like it! We'd love to know what you think of the unite now that you've had it for a while?
This is good defense against the Zerg.
"A zip lock bayg"
"I'm getting attacked here" when you're 1 ft from the unit is not a good recommendation
plus he only gave it a two thumbs up out of a five thumb review

The Device you used to measure Kilowatt what is the Name of it?
The size of the light bulb is what draws most of the power, so that's probably their 15-watt bulb version.
Where can I find your light timer outlet?
does this work really well for killing mosquitos? I'm about to purchase one.
Are you from Michigan? My cousins are from Grosse Pointe and Rochester Hills so I hear that Michigander twang.

That's odd, they are readily available around here.
Best ever made world wide. Buy one. Family and friends have been as expressed as me since early the 70's
Electricians tape will not water proof of a long time. Use black zip ties the black is UV resistant the white is not.

All you need is to plug it into a GFCI receptacle
mine died after 3 days. deff wasnt jerry rigged that that fucking thing.
DEMOCRACY!
the metal bars seem too far apart - i watch mosquitos zip in and out, while the moths burn a fiery death.
I am still using this years later, on the original light and it is kicking the heck out of our mosquitoes.
