After six months of use the unit quit working and still won't after inserting new bulbs. Can these units be repaired?

Go on-line and contact Flowtron. These units should last for years. Remember that the "squeaky wheel gets the grease". If you really complain and tell them that your family and/or friends have used Flowtron zappers for years and you have this problem with yours after payimg good money for it etc...etc.... They should have enough customer PR to help you. Be persistent and good luck.

Check wires to Neon Bulb in power supply (on Top of unit) Stiff FRAGILE wires have broke on mine because of constantly blowing back and forth when windy! I am LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT NOT FOUND UNDER "BULBS" for BK-40D!I will improvise for now!

Haven't had an issue with mine; however, I would hope that after only six months of use, amazon would take a return and get you a new one! Amazon!?!

There is a small internal device that acts as a starter to make the bulbs light up. It sounds like that starter has gone bad. Contact Flowtron and send them the unit for repair.

LED bulbs are supposed to last up to 30 years, and integral into the circuit board. To my knowledge they cannot be replaced. I installed 6 of these and they look great!

I have had mine for over a year and use it routinely. I have yet had to replace a bulb.

The device has a 5 year warranty. I would contact manufacturer support and see what they say about the bulb.

I've had mine plugged in and on for 6 months ~ a year? Edit: after that the lantern died (not the bulb). Rip lantern.

It is my understanding that these bulbs are not replaceable. I would call Lithonia tech support and asked them. Also, take a picture and go back to who sold it to you and see if they can help. It is also my understanding that they are supposed to last for 30,000 hours which is about 8 years at 10 hours per day.

Don't know, mine have quit working. Even they worked there was very little light.

Yes, however you should be aware of constantly replacing the bulbs. I am on my second fixture and replace approx. 6 bulbs each month.

Company says bulb is replaceable. I suggest you contact them. They seem to.really want this product to be a success

you probably only need to replace the bulb socket and ground screws.I did that to 12 of them not long ago and they are working fine now.

I've only used them with incandescent bulbs so can't really answer that. You may try asking the manufacturer of the unit, or else just expect to use the older bulbs. Sorry I can't be of more help.

These are units and the bulbs are built in so can't be changed. Not sure of the warranty.

Sorry. I did not have that issue as everything worked fine. But you should be able to replace the bulb.

This was a gift for my grandson. I don't know if they have tried replacing the bulb or not. If another person is having problems with it too, I wouldn't purchase it.

If you have a meter that checks continuty you can check it with that.Be sure it is unplugged before you get into it but every time I have fixed one they all looked so bad but they couldn't last much longer,so I replaced them all.I have 3 heaters and I have had to replace them in 2 of them.I think this a weak point in them.I also had them replaced in the other one while it was under warranty.The bulbs are kinda expensive and I don't plan on buying anymore of these heaters unless they have a recall on them and give us some relieve.

Am not sure. My FIRST unit quit working w/i first year. I thought it was the black light, so I bought their replacement bulb. Unit still didn't work. I bought my SECOND unit....same outcome. I called the company and after paying only for shipping, I returned BOTH units for replacements. Replacement units....same outcome. Great concept, but a flaw somewhere. I wouldn't want to replace the black light with a regular one, that is what makes this unit so desirable to me.
