Gardner Replacement UV Bulbs F25T8350BL 18in 25W — 2‑Pack Shatter‑Guard Sleeved for Indoor Fly Traps

Gardner EL-082 F25T8350BL is a two‑pack of 25W, 18" shatter‑guard UV replacement bulbs engineered for indoor electric fly traps and glue boards. These safety‑coated F25T8350BL tubes are OEM‑style replacements designed to restore ultraviolet attractant output in compatible Gardner and common commercial units. Each bulb arrives sleeved with FEP shatter‑guard film to contain glass fragments if broken, and the pair fits a range of models so you can refresh trap performance quickly without changing fixtures.

Which devices are these bulbs compatible with?

These 18‑inch, 25‑watt lamps are compatible with a broad set of indoor units from Gardner and several common trap models. They match the electrical and dimensional specs used in many adhesive and electric grid fly traps so installation is typically plug‑and‑play.

• Compatible with Gardner WS‑95, WS‑225, GT‑200, MX‑360 and AG‑961/963/969 models
• OEM form factor: F25T8350BL, 18 inches long, 25 watts
• Works with units that accept F25T8 style fluorescent insect attractant lamps

How does the shatter‑guard safety coating help in busy indoor spaces?

Each tube is sleeved in FEP film that helps contain glass should the lamp break, reducing contact with shards and simplifying clean‑up. The coating is especially useful in food handling, retail, office, or other indoor environments where quick containment reduces risk and downtime.

• FEP sleeve holds fragments and dust for safer cleanup
• Reduces chance of contamination in food and public areas
• Sleeved bulbs meet common workplace safety preferences

What brightness and light spectrum characteristics should I expect?

These are 25‑watt fluorescent tubes tuned to the spectral output used for insect attraction; they emit ultraviolet wavelengths commonly used in commercial traps. While not marketed as general lighting, they provide the UV profile needed to entice flying insects toward glue boards or electrocuting grids.

• 25 watts per tube; optimized UV output for insect attraction
• 18" length fits standard F25T8 fixtures in compatible traps
• Sold as a two‑pack to replace both bulbs in dual‑lamp housings

How easy is installation and what should I check before replacing bulbs?

Installation is typically straightforward: power down the unit, remove old tubes, and install the new F25T8350BL lamps into the bi‑pin sockets. Check your trap manual for ballast and lamp compatibility, and confirm the fixture accepts 25W F25T8 bulbs before swapping.

• Turn off power and allow fixtures to cool before replacing
• Replace both lamps at once for balanced output in dual fixtures
• Verify socket type and ballast compatibility in your unit manual

Who is this for These bulbs are aimed at facility managers, restaurant and retail operators, pest control professionals, and homeowners using indoor electric or glue‑board fly traps who need a reliable, OEM‑style replacement. If you operate Gardner WS‑series or AG‑series units or similar models and want a shatter‑guard option that matches original specifications, this two‑pack offers a practical maintenance supply to keep traps functioning as intended.
