Update: Dead flies everywhere!

Just as described. The light doesn't work but that's no biggy. It comes charged and it zaps them quick. I banged the racket once or twice in my swinging it around (the bulb wasn't working before then) but it is of strong enough construction that it just keeps on zapping. I highly recommend it!
Update: Okay-it pays to read. The light was always working...when I turned it on! I've used the Zap everyday since it arrived and I've overswung and smacked a few things besides the flies--it just keeps on zapping. If you need to take out your frustrations on flying insects get a Zap Racket--it's cheaper than therapy!More detail ...
