REPLACING BULB
Replace with DynaTrap® bulb #41050 (or equivalent G24 Type – 56V/7W bulb)
The lightbulb life expectancy is approximately 3,000 hours (or about 4 months), and should be replaced regularly to ensure optimal UV effectiveness. Even though the bulb’s light may be visible to you, its ability to attract mosquitoes diminishes over time.

Grasp the bulb (with your hand and fingers protected by the cloth) and gently pull the bulb from the socket (C).
- Remove any debris from the lamp socket with cleaning brush. Insert new bulb. Reposition the metal bracket over the base of the bulb and tighten the screw. Make sure to tuck the wires into the channel of the light housing so the wires do not get pinched or cut by the fan (D). Align the screw holes and place the light housing on top of fan housing. Secure with a “click” and tighten the screw to the base of the light housing.
HOW THE DYNATRAP® INSECT TRAP WORKS
Flying insects are attracted to the unit by the UV light and CO2 that is generated by the photo-catalysis between the UV lamps and the special TiO2 coating. The fan then pulls the insects into the screened base, trapping them until they dehydrate and die. The base can be removed, allowing the contents to be periodically emptied into the trash. Monitor the insects trapped in the retaining cage, through the see-through screen, and empty when compartment becomes full.
