Insectocutor Fly Killer Replacement Tube - 12 Inch 15W T5

Typically, UV insect killer tubes lose effectiveness after approximately 6 to 12 months of continuous use, depending on the operating environment. It's recommended to replace it annually for optimal performance.

This tube is 12 inches long and 15W, designed for T5 socket insectocutors. Check your existing tube's label or your device's manual for '12 inch', '15W', and 'T5' specifications. If these match, it should be compatible.

No, this tube is specifically designed for insectocutor devices. Using it in other fixtures is not recommended and may be unsafe.

This product information does not specify if a protective sleeve is included. Please refer to the product packaging or retailer listing for details.

Older fluorescent tubes may contain small amounts of mercury. It is best to check local regulations for proper disposal of fluorescent bulbs in your area, as some areas have specific recycling programs.

The primary difference is the wattage. The 15W tube provides more UV light output and is generally intended for larger or more demanding insect control applications compared to the 6W T5 tube, which is suitable for smaller areas.

Ensure the insectocutor unit is plugged in and the power is on. Verify the tube is correctly seated in its sockets. Check if the old tube was functional, as the issue might be with the device itself.

Make sure the tube is clean and free of dust. Confirm the tube is the correct wattage (15W) and type (T5) for your device. Check that the device is placed in an area where insects are likely to be present and away from competing light sources.

This may indicate the tube is nearing the end of its lifespan and needs replacement. Ensure a stable power connection. If flickering persists with a new tube, the issue might be with the insectocutor's ballast or wiring.
