This is a great sized bug zapping lantern. It has a handle on the top to hang it or a stable base to set it on top of something. Feels like it's made with a good quality plastic. There is a removable bottom to dump and clean out the bugs. It's as effective as drawing flies to a flame. Has two options so you don't have to have it zapping at all times if you just want to use it as a light. There is a covered usb-c port for charging. Also comes with the usb cable. The company is based in USA. They include a card with their contact information. This one performs better than some less expensive ones I have and it comes with USA customer service so I think it's a good value. Read more

I wish I would have had this earlier in the season when mosquito were out in full force, but so far, this is doing the job. I wanted to review this earlier, but needed to make sure I gave it a thorough test. We've used this on our front porch twice and our back deck at least six times. There have been no mosquito bites in that time. The battery is great, we haven't had to charge it a single time since it arrived (though I did plug it in to make sure it would charge correctly). I like that it offers a lamp feature on top of the blue light. Especially when I'm carrying it through the yard and want to switch between the two lights. The quality of the lantern is great so far. I accidently bumped it off the table once and off the retaining wall another time and it didn't flicker at all. I do agree that the self cleaning setting is a bit loud, but I don't mind that, it means I don't have to scrape bugs! The grate around the zapper allows for bugs to get in but our adult fingers don't fit, though I'd take precautions if there were little kids or curious pets, just for safety sake. It's catching bugs much better than the more expensive 'refillable' device I bought, so to in my way of thinking, that makes this an effective lantern that is worth the price. Read more

I am reviewing this for free as an Amazon Vine reviewer. I originally selected this because I wanted to have a portable bug zapper latern for my patio, camping, and for evening picnics at a local outdoor festival because it's the perfect size and weight. I really wanted to like this latern a lot, and used it several times for several days for several hours each time, before deciding to review it. It is very durable and thoughtfully crafted and offers great battery life. I used it for 3-5 hours each time and the battery never quit on me; but I would recharge it after each use so I didn't track full brightness zapping longevity. (I will update this review when I do more accurate battery & zapping testing) The zapper UV light itself is questionable in effectiveness based on my several days of use. I was not able to find any dead mosquito's inside despite having used it for several hours at a time for a week straight. The blue light did end up attracting several moths, but the latern didn't actually "zap" them; rather, it seemed to be a very slow burn and you could actually smell the moth being burned. Perhaps it was their size, but more realistically, I don't think the metal grid inside produces enough of an electrical field to zap the bug dead on first contact like it should. I never heard an actual zap when we used it. I know that UV Lamps/light attract bugs and are used all over the place in restaurants and kitchens so UV light is not a myth for bug attraction. I have a feeling that this latern's "UV light"/LED is being filtered by the plastic lens tube that is used to hold the wire zapping grid inside. A very specific acrylic plastic has to be used which allows for UV light to pass through it vs. being filtered out. I have a feeling the wrong plastic was selected for the tube/grid zapping holder inside and very little UV passes through and you only get visible blue light; thus eliminating the whole purpose of this latern. I do like that you can use both the bug zapping blue light alongside the warm yellow latern light. There are two modes for each light, There is a bright blue and dim blue which "zaps" the bugs. And then there is the orange/yellow light that is either full brightness or flashing to simulate an actual fire latern. The zapping only occurs with having the blue light on, the yellow light is just for looks and will not zap bugs. The zapper has a built in cleaning brush that will run after 24 hours of operation or manually if you hold the mosquito "blue" button for 4-5 seconds while all latern lights are off. The cleaning brush runs around the zapping grid inside 2 times in each direction when it runs and isn't too loud. The bottom base unscrews and allows you to clean out the zapped bugs. I will keep testing this unit for it's bug zapping performance; but for the moment, I am really disappointed at the lack of attracting and actually zapping mosquito's like it should. I would not buy this zapper, again, based on my present results. Read more

This bug lamp is a versatile tool that blends ambient lighting with insect control—especially useful in areas like indoor garden setups or garages where outlets are limited and bugs can be persistent. It’s compact, rechargeable, and packed with features that make it a practical companion for both plant care and workspace comfort. The Good - Rechargeable & Cord-Free: Charges via USB-C and runs up to 24 hours on a full charge. Perfect for garage corners, potting benches, or greenhouse shelves where power access is limited. - Lightweight & Portable: Easy to move between rooms or hang near plants. Works well in tight spaces or suspended above workstations. - Three Lighting Modes: Look at the pictures to see the three different modes—zapping mode only = blue light, lantern mode only = orange light, and lantern with zapping mode combined = purple light. Great for customizing light based on your needs. - Self-Cleaning Mechanism: Includes a rotating brush activated by a top button to clear dead insects from the base. You can also twist open the bottom to empty debris manually. - Bug Control Where You Need It: Helps reduce flying pests around indoor plants, compost bins, or garage entryways. - Compact & Stylish: Doesn’t take up much space and blends well into utility areas or garden setups. - Bonus Features: Comes with a long USB-C charging cable and a one-year warranty for peace of mind. The Bad - Audible Cleaning Brush: The rotating brush makes a noticeable sound when activated, which might be distracting in quiet indoor settings. - Limited Coverage: Best suited for small to medium spaces. Larger garages or dense plant zones may require more than one unit. Final Verdict For gardeners and DIYers looking to brighten up their indoor plant areas or keep bugs at bay in the garage, this lamp is a smart, flexible solution. It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and adds both function and flair to utility spaces. Not a heavy-duty zapper, but a reliable tool for everyday use and a good value for money. Read more

This is a thoughtfully designed bug zapper. The hanging wire on the top makes it simple to carry and move and hang wherever you want it. It's rechargeable via USB-C, has a built-in cleaning function, an easy-to-empty dead bug collection chamber on the bottom, and has a variety of lighting modes. It's very light - the entire outside is plastic - but it has a good feel to it. The plastic doesn't feel flimsy or thin. The cleaning function is AMAZING. Yes, it's noisy, quite loud in fact, but it works PERFECTLY. If you've ever owned a bug zapper before, you know it can be quite annoying to clean all the dead bugs that ultimately get stuck on the zapping wires - every bug zapper I've ever owned always had to be manually cleaned by using a small brush, just yuck, gross. Not this one! It'll automatically do a cleaning cycle about once every 24 hours, or you can initiate a cleaning cycle yourself by pressing and holding the zap button the top for about 3 to 5 seconds. The built-in brushes cycle around the zapper wires twice, and all the dead bugs fall into the bottom "stand" of the zapper. To empty out the graveyard of bugs, just hold the zapper over your trashcan and twist the flat bottom off; all the bugs will drop right out. This does an excellent job attracting and killing bugs, although I have no way of determining if the stated 2,150 square feet range of attraction is accurate, the range it attracts bugs does seem to be more than adequate for my needs. I am using it on a semi-enclosed deck of about 500 square feet and it's definitely eliminating virtually all bugs in my deck area. Since those bugs are coming from somewhere outside my deck, I'd say it's reasonable to expect this to attract bugs in an area of at least 1,500 square feet. The one critique I have of this Flowtron Bug Zapper is it does not have any sort of charging level indicator on it. There's no visual way to determine the current charge level or that it's finished charging. It's a little thing that isn't absolutely necessary to the functioning of the bug zapper but at its current price point (about $50), it's something I would expect. Having said that, I still think the convenience and effectiveness of this bug zapper makes it overall, a good value for me. Read more
