The GE F15T8/BL is a widely available, mid-range blacklight tube that provides reliable UV-A output and broad fixture compatibility at a competitive price point. It represents a practical trade-off between Sylvania’s higher-spec performance and Feit’s budget pricing — offering good attractant intensity and availability for large or distributed trap fleets without the premium cost of the top-tier blacklight.

TCP 32013BLB 13W Spiral Bug Light
TCP's 32013BLB 13W Spiral Bug Light is designed as a purpose-built compact spiral bulb for insect control, combining a bug-optimized spectral output with a form factor that fits many consumer and light-commercial traps. Comparable in wattage to the Feit 13W unit, TCP often differentiates on packaged value (multipacks) and robust availability, making it a smart choice when per-unit price and replacement convenience are as important as modest UV performance.

Catchmaster Gold Stick Fly Light Maintenance Kit
The Catchmaster Gold Stick kit focuses on high-tack adhesive technology, giving long-lasting capture performance and economical refills that make it the most budget-efficient option for heavy-use environments. Compared with the bulb-plus-adhesive bundles from brands like Gardner and DynaTrap, Catchmaster’s advantage is its adhesive longevity and lower recurring cost, though it does not include the same level of branded replacement bulb integration seen in Ecolab or P+L System kits.
