Bug zapper questions

Hi, I want to switch this bug zapper over to led or cfl light. I figured t he hi voltage transformer primary was 120v but the primary is connected to the florescent bulbs. I guess so you have to buy their replacements. Does anyone know what kinda power I could connect to the high voltage transforme r if I replace the florescent bulbs. I imagine this circuit board needs to see the voltage from the ballast or it won't work either so it probably nee ds a total redesign. These bulbs needed replacing and I thought it would cool to replace them wi th leds. Thanks in advance Rob

Sorry, I had meant to attach a photo and can't see how to do that, that's p robably not an option on this list.

** Most bug zappers use a special fluoro tube that emits lots of UV light to attract the bugs. LEDs emit none and CFLs very little.

Your other questions are to vague to answer.
