Ratings & Reviews for BLACK FLAG 1 Count Outdoor Lantern

Faulty

One both light and bug zapper worked, the other ones light didn't but the bug zapper did.

Did Not Work for Me

Sad to report that I continue to get bit. The blue light inside the bulb is only about 1.5 inches long so not that noticeable. I tried this because it was the only indoor bug zapper. HD did not have any better options in their store either. I hope you have better results.

good but short lived

the bug zapping part stopped working after a day. the light stopped working after 3 days. disappointing. not recommended.

Good idea

The main light will come on randomly if the bug zapper is on and I’m not sure how effective it is. Concept is cool though.

Might work on large bugs but not on tiny ones.

Well, I don’t know if this thing works or not. It did not catch the pests I bought it to catch, but it might work on larger bugs. I bought it to catch fruit flies, but either they are not attracted to it, or the grid is too large for them, and they just pass through it. It has not caught one bug inside the house, but I might try putting it outside to see if it works any better on the carport.

Great Product

I was hesitant to buy after reading the reviews. I am certainly glad I did. This thing works like a charm with mosquitos and moths. Bought it mostly for mosquitos and it definitely reduced the amount I see. They used to hide in my carport for the shade but I put this up and I keep it on all day and night on the zapper only mode and it's solid. Glad I got it.

Works on phorid flies!

Quietly going about its job exterminating those miserable hump back flies in the Phoridae family that infest drains, composts, and damp house plants, all without chemicals; this device works. Put several out around the house where they are in direct sight of fly sources for best results. And clean the fixture every 2 weeks or so to keep the flies coming in!

nice light, don't know how many bugs zapped though

Placed this light in the outdoor fan over my patio dining table. Living in Texas, Mosquitos in particular are a nuisance about 9 months out of the year. After using the zapper function for 4 nights in a row (during mosquito season), I took the light down and removed the cover to the zapper. Sadly, I found only 1 mosquito. So, I don't know if it doesn't work well, or if the open cage design just doesn't hold the carcasses well.

Nice idea

I like the idea behind this light bulb zapper but not sure about the reality of how it works. It fits a standard light socket so no problem with the install. I left it on for approximately 2 hours, when I can back there were no dead bugs on the ground nor did I hear any get zapped. Overall quality and construction are good just not sure it has enough voltage to actually zap the bugs.

Like the 9-Watt Electric Bug Zapper

I was so nice and convenient to easily screw the Zapper into a light switch. I believe it works very well for small jobs of managing bugs, e.g. screened in back or front porch/deck out even camping in spring or fall. If you want big, get a big zapper. Overall, it works for my intended purposes.

Nice but big

This bug zapper gives out a lot of light. It functions as advertised and illuminates my 25 X 8 ft. patio. There is a mode for zapper only or zapper + light, selectable by flipping the switch off and on 1 or 2 times. Be aware, however, that it is large. If you are planning to install it in a fixture, you may want to measure first. I have it in a simple 4 X 4 in. carriage light fixture. The diameter fits, but just barely. And the bulb protrudes below the fixture. Also, in order to let bugs...
