Ushio G15T8E Germicidal UV Lamp
The Ushio G15T8E is a premium germicidal UV-C lamp valued for consistent shortwave output and OEM-grade manufacturing, giving it an edge in applications requiring reliable disinfection and long service life. As with the Philips germicidal tube, Ushio’s technical strengths are not optimized for insect attraction (UV-A), so it is best chosen where trap installations also require sanitizing or high durability, and it typically carries a higher price than the blacklight replacements from Sylvania, GE and Feit.

Philips Actinic BL PL-L 36W/10/4P
Philips' Actinic PL PL-L 36W/10/4P stands out as the market leader for fly control light traps due to its high actinic UV output and long rated life, making it well suited for large commercial traps where sustained attraction is critical. Although it carries a higher upfront cost than smaller compact models on this list, its superior UV flux and longer replacement intervals deliver lower lifetime cost per lumen-attracting-insect compared with the lower-wattage Sylvania, GE, Feit, and TCP options.

Catchmaster 948 Bulk Glue Boards 72-Pack
Catchmaster 948 earns top placement for offering a reliable balance of tack, size, and cost-per-board that fits most stable fly light traps used in barns and dairies. Its pre-cut boards make installation cleaner and faster than a commercial roll like Sticky Roll, and it typically undercuts industrial-strength options such as Vector 960 on per-unit price while providing broader compatibility than some specialty agricultural sheets.
