This is the Evoges EVO20BL368 20W E27/ES BL368 Blacklight UV-A Lamp – Insect Attraction & UV Applications (Energy Class A) available at SparksDirect.co.uk for the best price.
The EVOGES 20W E27 ES BL368 Blacklight UV-A Lamp is a specialised ultraviolet-A (UV-A) blacklight bulb designed for use in a variety of applications where UV light is needed rather than regular visible illumination.With its standard E27 Edison screw cap it fits into most familiar lamp holders, making it easy to install in insect killer units, zappers, and traps designed to attract flying insects by emitting UV-A light at the BL368 wavelength, which is a proven optimum for insect attraction.
This type of lamp is useful not just for pest control — where insects like flies and mosquitoes are drawn to UV-A light and trapped or electrocuted — but also for inspection and detection tasks, horticultural lighting, leak detection, and authentication applications that benefit from a UV light source. Because of its ultraviolet spectrum and lack of visible lumen output, it is not intended for general ambient lighting.
Features & Benefits
- BL368 UV-A emission — emits ultraviolet light at ~368 nm, a wavelength widely recognised for attracting flying insects efficiently.
- Standard E27 Edison screw (ES) cap — fits most common lamp holders and insect killer fixtures.
- 20W power consumption — balanced output suitable for traps without excessive energy use.
- Energy Class A — efficient in terms of UV output relative to power draw.
- Wide application scope — pest control, insect zappers, leak/fluorescent inspections, and some horticultural settings.
- Suitable for enclosed fixtures — designed to be used in trap housings and protected fittings.
- Easy retrofit — simply replaces standard incandescent/other lamps in compatible equipment.

Who Needs It
- Homeowners and gardeners using electric fly killers or zappers to control flying insects indoors/outdoors.
- Catering and hospitality sites where pest control around food preparation areas is essential.
- Facility managers and service technicians in commercial buildings needing reliable UV lamps for pest control units.
- Specialists in inspection/verification work where UV-A light is used for leak detection, fluorescence checks, or authentication tasks.
Who Can Install It
This blacklight lamp can be installed by home users, electricians, or maintenance staff familiar with changing standard E27 lamps. No special tools are required — simply ensure power is switched off before inserting or removing lamps. Because this is a UV light source, avoid direct eye exposure to the bulb when it is powered on, and use in appropriately designed fixtures.
Usage Note
This lamp emits UV-A ultraviolet light, which is invisible to the human eye and not suitable for general room lighting. It should be installed in enclosed or shielded fixtures such as insect traps or inspection lamps, and direct extended exposure should be avoided as with all UV sources.
