 Ŀ       I had to repair mine
                again recently,
      so I made a note
       of the circuit.

It uses a standard E ferrite transformer core        Ŀ
except there are two bobbins one on each end        Ŀ  
rather the one in the middle. This magnetically     Inv     Zap 
isolates the high voltage fly killer circuit and    bob     Bob 
it can be shorted out or not without affecting        
the UV lamp inverter much.                           


If the UV tube gives up, try a double sided PCB with 2 rows of blue LEDs
mounted instead of the lamp and across 12V...

+12V Ĵ   2x15mA,  6 Blue LEDS    -ve
       180RĴ>Ĵ>Ĵ>

And to reduce the inverter power, add a 10n across Collector to Emitter and
change the 1K5 to 12K for 75mA @ 12V total load.

Why don't U send an interesting bul?
