Ask Dr. Bug - Flies Our brewery is in the process of implementing a HACCP program. During our last audit, the auditor was concerned about the bulbs in our fly lights not being shatterproof or having a guard in place to protect from flying glass in the chance that one of the bulbs would burst. We have the Vector Gold system of fly lights and were considering putting a mylar sleeve around the bulbs to contain the glass if breakage would occur, but we aren't sure if that will make the bulbs less effective or interfere with the shock feature. Do you have any suggestions? Any type of sleeve will reduce the UV output of the bulb which means you probably will need to change the bulbs every six months to make sure you have an adequate amount of UV emitting to attract flies. As for the shock feature, the Vector Gold ILT used the J-Tronics pulsating wave that emerges form the back grid board, so sleeved bulbs will not affect the effectiveness of the catch. |
