The product is absolutely useless, it's a blue light in a plastic frame.

A dumb thing not doing anything to the flies
It is totally ineffectual, not having zapped one fly since it was bought

Save your money, believe me they are RUBBISH!. Not even worth 1 star.
After purchasing one, not from this particular outlet but the same exact Alpine model and run it for a full month. I can honestly say it did not kill even one single flying insect. Not even midges or anything!.Whether or not the UV light does not attract flies effectively or more likely there is just not enough JUICE to kill them off, who knows.What I do know is I wasted almost £10 inc postage on a piece of electrical tat from China that is USELESS.Take heed and Avoid. I suspect even similar low wattage units from China are useless, it needing a fair amount of electricity to finish the houseflies off. Especially the big ones.Instead even though it takes up a full 25 watts the ASPECTEK £40 two EV bar "advertised at 20 watts" but is actually 25 watts these units DO do the job.Kills them most of the time almost instantly, a few have blown off wings and legs etc but maybe far better than spending a few days stuck usually upside down to a traditional fly paper strip with no hope of surviving.PS, Alternatively a certain UK high St pound shop sell 4 rolls of fly paper for £1.They are more than proficient at killing the tiny midges and big houseflies.40 packs of them at 1 pack per year would last 40 years AND there is no 1 kW/h of electricity to run it for 40 hours costing 25p.It could then cost around 60p a week to run one.That is at 25p a kW/h. It could soon be twice or even 3 times that soon. They will not be happy until it is £1 per kW/h. So a decent effective electric fly killer WILL cost a fair bit to run it.Maybe at today's electricity cost around £30 a year at 13 hours per day.The alternative being lower wattage devices BUT this particular Alpine model was for sure useless. The other tubular one also by Alpine was even more rubbish, the EV tube barely illuminated.Best then to either get a decent one, as advised, or just pick up 1 pack of £1 fly paper, You know who does them, they are very good when positioned in the right places.4 places not just the one in the case of an electrical fly killing unit so an advantage there.You don't get your 'snap crackle & pop' of a dying fly bringing out the hunter killer nature in us, perchance satisfying that in our modern age, and by buying the fly paper there is no amassing a nice collection of nasty flies in its tray and gloating over them, but you can amass a packed out strip of flies to look & marvel at.That'll teach them for flying into your abode. eh!.Well, it is either 'you' or the fly.There being hundreds of billions of flies and you are actually helping out in a way in Natural Selection.Flies that have a genetic & behavioural tendency to AVOID households go on to survive & prosper, those that do not you ensure do not survive.
