For restaurants, flies are more than a nuisance—they’re a threat to your reputation and bottom line. These tiny intruders carry harmful bacteria and diseases, which can lead to food spoilage and even costly health code violations if left unchecked. Flies buzzing around your dining room or bar area can create an unsavory impression for your guests. No diner wants their meal overshadowed by pests, and nothing says “unsanitary” like a fly landing near their plate or drink.
With Vector UV Fly Lights, you can take control of the problem before it starts. Our innovative, discreet solutions are designed to keep flies out of sight, ensuring a clean, safe, and welcoming environment for your customers. Today, we’ll introduce you to these cutting-edge tools and show how they can safeguard your business from pests and their unpleasant consequences.
What are Vector UV Fly Lights?
Vector UV Fly Lights by Catchmaster® represent the light at the end of your fly problem, the standard in fly-stopping power. Our fly lights combine the irresistible lure of ultraviolet light with our patented, pro-strength glue trusted by professionals for over 70 years—to trap flies securely and permanently.
Unlike traditional bug zappers that create a mess by destroying flying pests, Vector offers a clean, silent, and discreet solution. Flies are drawn to the UV light and captured trapped forever on the glue board hidden behind it, making them ideal for sensitive areas where food safety is paramount.
Maintenance is as hassle-free as the design itself. When the glue board is full, simply open the front panel, replace the used board with a fresh one, close it, and your Vector Fly Light is back in action—protecting your space with the same reliable, effective fly control you can count on.
View Inside a Vector Plasma One
Every Vector UV Fly Light is crafted with industrial-grade aluminum, ensuring durability and dependability even in the most demanding environments. Each model uses either a 15- or 36-watt lightbulb (depending on the model) that is highly energy efficient to deliver exceptional performance in any space in your restaurant.
Like all Catchmaster® products, the glue boards used in Vector UV Fly Lights are 100% non-toxic and food-safe. This makes them the ideal choice for restaurants, commercial kitchens, and any sensitive areas where cleanliness and food safety are top priorities. With Vector UV Fly Lights, you can confidently maintain a fly-free environment without compromising safety or standards.
What Vector Fly Light is Best for Me?
The Vector UV Fly Light line offers six distinct models, each tailored to meet the needs of different spaces in your restaurant: Optima (available in White and Black), Vector 15, Vector 30, Plasma One, Plasma Screened, and Plasma Grilled. Choosing the right model depends on the size and nature of the space you want to protect. In this section, we’ll guide you through each model, highlighting its strengths and ideal placements to ensure effective fly control throughout your establishment.
Vector Optima
The Vector Optima is the perfect solution for front-of-house areas such as dining rooms, bar spaces, and delis. Designed with aesthetics in mind, it’s available in two sleek colors—white and black—ensuring it blends seamlessly into any decor. What sets the Optima apart is its smaller catch radius, which is a strategic advantage for these spaces. It effectively traps flies that wander into your dining area without drawing in pests from other parts of the building, maintaining a pleasant and pest-free environment for your customers.
The upward-facing light offers two additional benefits:
- Subtle Presence: Its discreet design hides the glue board and does not shine UV light directly on your customers, maintaining the overall customer experience
- Efficiency in Sunlit Rooms: By reflecting UV light off the wall, the Optima is highly effective even in rooms with natural sunlight.
Vector 15
The Vector 15 is next in Catchmaster’s Vector UV Fly Light arsenal, designed for bar areas, delis, and dry storage spaces that are neither refrigerated nor freezer environments.
It features an outward-facing light that allows the UV light to radiate in all directions, making the Vector 15 particularly effective in compact spaces with artificial lighting as the primary source. However, its performance can be impacted by sunlight, which makes it less ideal for rooms with high natural light exposure.
Vector 30
The Vector 30 takes fly-stopping power to the next level with its dual UV lights encased in a durable, industrial-grade aluminum frame. It is ideal for a wide range of spaces, including front-of-house dining areas, back-of-house prep zones, commercial kitchens, bar areas, delis, and dry storage areas not exposed to refrigeration or freezing temperatures. The additional UV bulb gives the Vector 30 a significant edge over the Vector 15, offering greater power output and enhanced versatility. Its increased light output makes it well-suited for medium-sized rooms with natural sunlight or lit by artificial sources.
Vector Plasma One
The Vector Plasma One replaces the 15 watt bulbs found in smaller Vector models with a single 36-watt bulb, delivering more than double the fly-stopping power.
The Vector Plasma One is the best all around fly trap option for restaurants – it will work in the front of house, back of house, commercial kitchens, bar areas, delis, cold cases, trash rooms, or dry storage spaces. It's radiant 36-watt lightbulb also allows it to work effectively in areas with natural sunlight as well.
Vector Plasma Screened
The Vector Plasma Screened doubles the power of the Vector Plasma One with two 36-watt UV bulbs. It is perfect for large spaces, making it great for front-of-house dining areas, back-of-house prep zones, commercial kitchens, delis, cold cases, trash rooms, and dry, non-refrigerated storage areas. The increased wattage offers greater power than the Vector 30, making it ideal for large spaces. It will work in sunlit or artificially lit places. The only downside is its larger size makes it less practical for tight spaces, such as behind bar areas.
Replacement Glue Boards
Replacing the glue boards in your Vector Fly Light is quick and hassle-free. Simply unplug the unit, open the front panel, remove the spent board, and discard it. Then, place a fresh glue board inside, close the trap, and plug it back in. It’s that simple to keep your fly light operating at peak efficiency. We offer universal glue boards in both pheromone and non-pheromone varieties, giving you the flexibility to choose the best option for your needs. These replacement glue boards are available for purchase directly from Catchmaster, making reordering as convenient as the replacement process itself.
