Faicuk Wall Sconce Fly Light Trap (WS108 Wood Grain)

Easy to install and works great! Installed it in my garage because it's attached to the house so everytime we would go in and out we'd let flying bugs in. Now I need to put one up in my sunroom.

Seems to work very well.

Light weight, easy to install and get the insects we need caught.

Is this a device you want? Well, and this is very important, what exactly are the types of insects you are hoping to get rid of?This device is good at removing SMALL flying insects that are ATTRACTED TO UV.That means you'll get gnats and fruit flies. It's a nice addition to a kitchen because it stops the fruit flies that might congregate near a garbage can or a fruit basket. And the glue trap means you don't get started by occasional zaps that are spreading bits of vaporized fly over your kitchen.But what won't it get?It won't get house flies (ie the larger flies that are around 1/3 of an inch long). Those are attracted to the light but usually strong enough to escape the glue trap.Likewise for moths (but I have nothing against moths, so I don't mind that!)And it usually won't get mosquitos because mosquitos aren't drawn by UV light, they're drawn by a combination of warmth, CO2, and octenol.So what can you do?What I did was to also put a fly-zapping bulb somewhere else in the house, far from the kitchen, and where I normally wouldn't hear it, to hopefully attract and zap the large flies that get into the house. I also put outside the house a specifically designed mosquito lamp that slowly warms up an octenol patch to attract the mosquitos. That' something you want outside the house, if possible a fair distance away! Nothing worse than attracting the mosquitos into the house and then having some of them veer off course when they notice a tasty human snack nearby!!!So, once you understand what this lamp is and is not for, what else can I say?It's fairly easy to mount, and it's light, so you don't have to be especially paranoid about how you mount it. (But you will probably mount it close to an electrical socket -- so be careful before you start drilling to check the wall for how that power cable runs through the wall...) It MIGHT be light enough to mount with nanotape or something similar like some contact strips. I've had success with those for similarly weighted items. But be careful, there are two issues that made me not do that for this item:- it's always on, and while not hot, it is slightly warming. Taping things that stay permanently warm usually fails after a few weeks to months because the warmth degrades the tape "glue".- it's fragile in the sense that it has a UV bulb in it! Some things, if they were to fall from being taped up, no big deal, you examine what went wrong and try again. But if this thing falls and hits the ground, at the very least the bulb will shatter, and quite likely the contacts will also be so bent as to be useless...Once mounted, it's great. The light is barely visible (I mounted it a little higher than eye level specifically so it would be essentially hidden.) At first the UV bulb had a flicker (barely noticeable, but there if you looked at it carefully). That seems to have gone away after about two weeks. Even when it was happening it wasn't an issue, but it might be more irritating if your situation forced you to mount it at eye level or lower.To make it look cleaner, I put a raceway over the cable. This was the first time I've used a raceway and you can see the mistake I made -- I just eyeballed trying to line up two pieces to make a long vertical run, because I didn't even think this was an issue. Don't make my mistake! It's very easy to slightly misalign the two pieces! Tie a piece of tight string , or use a long ruler to draw yourself a long straight line, so that you can get the raceway pieces nicely aligned.The one I was shipped also came with the logo tilted at about 30 degrees relative to the sconce which drove me crazy. Hence the Apple sticker (I had one sitting around, and it was the correct size and shape!) :-)

The media could not be loaded. Just what I was looking for! I have tried to get rid of gnats and flies for years but nothing worked! My last shot before this one was ZEVO so I bought them all ZEVO things and still had no control. I finally decided to sit down and do some research, read hundreds of reviews until I came across this baby right here! Only 2 days and I no longer see gnats in my kitchen!!! 😭🙌🏼🙏🏼

Overa all a nice fly trap even if a bit on the pricy side. Mine was in use for about a year and 3 months when the bulb went out. I wasn't in a hurry to replace it though since we were going into winter, and we don't have a need for it then. As Spring approached (this year), I finally bought some new bulbs only to find that along with the bulb being out, the light strip itself (with the electronics to light the bulb) had also failed. While there is supposedly a 2-year warranty on the unit, I haven't had a response yet as to how to file a warranty claim. Luckily, you can currently buy a strip and bulb replacement kit for $20. I am hoping the seller stands by the warranty though.When it was working, it worked very well. The blue glow of the bulb attracted a lot of insects - especially those tiny pesky nats. During the height of our fly season, I was changing glue boards on a weekly basis - so, stock up on those glue boards. The glue boards are a bit on the small side so they do fill up quickly.You have to be careful where you mount the light. Mounting it too close to a door with a window, or a door near a window will attract enough insects from outside such that when you open the door, they'll come flying in - especially the moths.4/27/23 Update: I contacted Faicuk about the premature failure of the light strip. They were very responsive, generally responding within one business day, and after getting the details, quickly shipped me out a replacement unit. Stellar customer service - WOW - Nice to see for a change.

Bought this expecting it to really work as advertised. Installed in our basement that is having some issues with mosquitos for the past few days. It did catch very tiny gnats and one mosquito but there were at least 10 in the area that somehow never made it to the trap. Not sure how efective this really is but judging by the experience I say it is a 20% success rate being generous.Not impress and not happy at all. Most likely will return.
