For homeowners, restaurant owners, and facility managers seeking effective insect control, the Sylvania Lynx-L 18W UV Black Light Bulbs offer a powerful solution for attracting and capturing flying pests. Their key benefit is enhanced insect attraction due to a specific UV-A wavelength, with a caveat that they require compatible fly killer units. This 3-pack provides long-lasting performance, maintaining high UV-A output for thousands of hours, ensuring consistent protection.

Yes, the 3-pack contains three identical Sylvania Lynx-L 18W Fly Killer Black Light Bulbs.
Each bulb in this pack is 18W.
Replacement is recommended after approximately 5,000 hours of use, or when you notice a significant decrease in insect attraction.
Ensure the fly killer unit is plugged in and the power switch is on. Verify the bulb is correctly seated in the sockets. Test with another compatible bulb if available.
Check if the bulb has reached its 5,000-hour lifespan and may need replacement. Ensure the bulb is clean (if applicable, check unit housing for dust obstructing light) and the fly killer unit is positioned optimally away from competing light sources.
This may indicate a faulty bulb or a problem with the ballast in the fly killer unit. Try a new bulb; if the issue persists, the unit may require servicing or replacement.
Setup: Installation is straightforward. Ensure the power to the fly killer unit is switched off. Carefully remove the old bulb, aligning the pins of the new Sylvania Lynx-L 18W bulb with the socket and gently pushing it into place. Restore power.
Compatibility: These 18W bulbs are designed to fit most standard fly killer units that specifically use the Lynx-L form factor and wattage. Always check your existing unit's specifications before purchasing.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, periodically clean the exterior of the fly killer unit. The bulbs themselves do not require cleaning, but their effectiveness can be impacted by dust or debris on the unit's housing. Replacement is recommended after approximately 5,000 hours of use or when the UV output noticeably diminishes.
