No issues with mine. I've just come back from a week in France; switched it on most evenings at around 7pm - switched it off to charge in the AM - around 8am. Clear bivvy and no bites

I live in the country and I've used it indoors as well to be fair, quite a bit. I reckon you might have a bad battery or it's not charging properly?

Imho the light just attracts more flying creatures into your bivvy increasing the likelihood of getting bit

Been using mine in France, permed amazingly well. I was sleeping in the van. When you get out on a night for fish the bugs were just swarming in. I had a normal led light in they were crawling all over it. Move that next to the zapper and they followed it, turned the LED off, everything jumped off that straight onto the zapper, brilliant 👍

Still got seriously bitten whilst out and about ffs

Just had a look at those Braders, look a tidy bit of kit

I also have a thermacell backpacker which uses the pads otherwise I would have one

So I stripped my wolf one down last night

Got a nice belt up the arm

On the table with the light on now waiting for the power to drain

Don’t strip them live is my advise, as the manufacturers

So dare I say it, if I can’t fix it, what do people think are the best zappers?

Zappers just attract them get a flextail,you can have them on a tripod and put it on max and it even works outside your bivvy/van

They look good pal, must admit, I already have a load of pads for the thermo so I don’t want another one like that

Unless the pads fit that I have?

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
