DichromaBug Zapper Replacement Bulb Light Tube 10W for 20W Electronic Bug Zapper, T8 Bulbs for Indoor Outdoor Mosquito Zapper Lamp (4 Pack)

I had purchased this Aspectek bug zapper a few years ago from Amazon and had noticed one of the bulbs had burned out so I purchased these replacement bulbs. I powered off the bug zapper and unplugged it from the wall - after a few minutes I took off the protection screen and touched the bad bulb to take it out and got zapped....all the past bugs that got zapped were probably very happy LOL It didn't cause me any physical damage just embarrassment....I guess it held flea power...not really sure but just wanted to make others aware. I then tried again and no zap the second time around and was able to replace the bulb - these replacement bulbs worked perfectly in this Aspectek bug zapper....thank you

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.

DO NOT buy this product.You'll be wasting your money.I bought 4 bulbs, the replacements only lasted 4 months.The worst quality I've ever seen.

Item arrived as described; not tools were needed in the installation. Bulbs fit perfectly in zapper; they were no issues with this item.Great valve for the price, shines brightly, attracting big to their demise.Outstanding performance, 5 Stars.

Perfect fit and seems to last longer than original

Have had these bug zappers over 4+ years. The lights started to go out and instead of buying new ones I ordered bulb replacements and they are amazing! Easy to install after looking up a video on YouTube!

They fit but when I opened them 2 of the 4 didn't work.
