FC8800 Diplomat Fly Control Device - 120W In/Outdoor
Flowtron electronic fly control devices combine ultraviolet black light energy with exclusive reflector panels and a special fly attracting pheromone (sex lure) to provide powerful fly control units that are ecologically safe, effective and economical to operate. Flies and other light-sensitive flying insect pests are attracted by the ultraviolet light and special lure and are eliminated as they fly through the electro statically charged grid. Dead insects drop out of sight into a sanitary, removable collection chamber.
The FC-8800 is designed for either indoor or outdoor use and is ideally suited for installation in restaurants, food processing plants, retail food stores, meat-packing plants, barns, stables or wherever flies are a threat to health and sanitation codes and where the use of toxic chemicals is dangerous, undesirable or banned.
Features:
- Glo-tube reflectors intensify blacklight radiation for enhanced luring power
- Patented, high efficiency, vertical grid eliminates grid clogging
- Controlled grid power provides sure, clean kills with no airborne contamination
- Sex lure increases effectiveness in attracting and eliminate house and garbage flies
- No glue boards required

One of my units had a bulb go dark a few weeks ago. I bought a replacement bulb and installed it, but no joy. Anticipating a chore, I emailed their customer support with a description of the symptoms. In just minutes I got a reply suggesting it might be a starter (just like the old fashioned fluorescent light fixtures used to have), and a recommendation that I swap the bulb to another position to prove it. I did that, and the bulb was fine. I wrote back on a Sunday, and first thing Monday morning I got a response - they sent me a replacement starter, and two spares. Replacing the starter was easy, and my unit is now fully functional again.
Great product, great support! The only reason I gave them three stars on the value is that these units are quite expensive - worth it for me, though. I gave them four stars on the sturdiness because I've now had two failures in six months - largely made up for by their great service, though!
6 Month Review! This is still a killing machine. I have a bulb burnt out in the attached video and it is still drawing bugs and zapping them faster than you can count them. Yes you still need holes for water to drain out when it rains and you should go out and empty the tray once a week or so. BUT Still very happy with my purchase and I can not imagine how many bugs this thing has zapped for me. I would buy it again.
2 YEAR review.
Yes I would still purchase this again! Still working great. Yes you have to replace a ballast now and then and some times a bulb (and they are expensive) but STILL very happy with the job it does. Yes I have to take it down and clean it here and there. Yes I had to drill some drain holes in the trap at the bottom to let rain water out. But, Still working great and still happy. If you have a need to kill any pests on your property this is still the best.
