The Flowtron BK-80D is a high-capacity unit designed for large residential properties, offering coverage for up to 1.5 acres. It uses a 5600V copper-wound transformer, which is significantly more durable than the solid-state power supplies often found in smaller models. The housing is made from high-impact polypropylene with UV inhibitors, which helps prevent the material from becoming brittle or "chalking" after long-term exposure to the sun.
Specifications indicate that the dual 40W bulbs are tuned to the specific light range most attractive to flying insects. The vertical grid design is intended to be self-cleaning, as gravity helps most insects fall away from the grid after contact, reducing the need for manual brushing. This industrial-standard unit is built for 24/7 outdoor operation and is designed to resist water ingress during rain.
To maximize the comfort of your outdoor living space, it is best to hang this unit 25 to 50 feet away from where you sit, drawing the insects toward the light and away from your family.
- The 5600V grid provides an instant explosive kill to prevent insects from lingering on the wires.
- The housing is built to withstand varied weather conditions for year-round use.
- Bulb replacement is a straightforward annual maintenance task to keep the light output at peak levels.
If you prefer a silent option for a smaller indoor space like a restaurant or kitchen, the Gardner Wall Sconce Trap offers a more discreet profile.
