Hudson LED Halloween Lights - Flame Effect Bulb & 4-Mode Upside Down Animation - 3W Flickering Flame Bulb with E26/E27 Base (1 Pack) - Orange Fire for Indoor Outdoor Use

Excellent look has worked so far so good. I do not care for the cylinder shape look that pretty much all of these types of LED flame light bulbs have. If you have a light fixture where you cannot see the bulb then you are golden, however, if you have a light fixture with clear glass it looks rather manufactured and fake. I unfortunately have 2 clear glass exterior light fixtures that I wanted to use these in. The trick I discovered in getting a more natural flame look is to cover the clear glass on the inside of the fixture (outside is okay to do too but has no protection from rain) with regular computer printer paper. Simply taping the paper to the inside or outside of the light fixture holds the paper in place. The flame effect then radiates through the paper and it looks many times better. I am going to leave the paper in the fixtures for my smart LED bulbs for Christmas. When Christmas is over I am going to remove the paper cut outs that were used to cover the clear glass and have them laminated for the same use next year.

My castle looks great now.

Appearance Hudson Lighting rates the bulbs at 200 lumens (equivalent to 13 watts incandescent) which is in line with my observations. They are great for mood lighting, but I would recommend something brighter for activities like reading. The bulbs give a pleasant and realistic flicker. If your light fixture has no or minimal frosting, the flickering is more pronounced like a wood flame. Heavier frosting mutes the flickers causing a more candle-like appearance. I installed my bulbs in a torch lamp with open top globes which also creates a pleasant flicker on the ceiling. I have attached a video showing three frosting levels on my lamp (bottom to top): just the globe frosting, the globe frosting plus one sheet of copy paper inside the globe, and the globe frosting plus two sheets of copy paper inside the globe. I feel safe doing this because the bulbs do not get hot. (I printed clipart on the copy paper for fun.) Safety In a 73-degree Fahrenheit room in the torch-style lamp, the hottest part of the bulb reached 117 degrees after 90 minutes. The bulb quickly cooled to 96 degrees when held for 15 seconds. I tried the same experiment with a completely enclosed globe with zero ventilation. After 90 minutes the hottest part of the bulb was 119 and cooled to 98 degrees after being held for 15 seconds. It takes about a 5-minute exposure to 120 degrees to receive a first-degree burn, so I doubt these bulbs could ever cause a burn. I used a non-contact infrared thermometer to measure all temperatures. Energy Efficiency and Cost LED bulbs generally have a Luminous Efficacy (Lumens/Watts) of 30-90. These bulbs are middle of the road at 67 (200 lumens/3 watts). Operating a bulb 24/7/365 would use 26.28 kWh/year costing $3.34/year at the current national average price of $0.127/kWh. Only Issue I ordered three boxes of two for six bulbs in total. I noticed two of the six bulbs took about a half second longer to come on. I only notice this if I am staring directly at the lamp when I turn it on. I emailed Hudson Lighting asking if they were defective. Tim at Hudson Lighting responded saying the slight delay in coming on was just a variance in manufacturing. Tim added Hudson Bay covered the bulbs for up to two years. I was quite pleased with the response, but it was nothing compared to the response time. I emailed at 7:23 PM EDT on Saturday and received a response in 3 hours and 7 minutes. I did not expect a weekend response, especially such a quick one, from a lighting company.

I have been doing reviews on the flame lights (that's why i bought them), and i will say that they are very good compared to the cheap china ones, to be honest your bulb is number 2 out of 4 brand that i like. My only advice for your bulbs is to reprogram the level drop on the down flame of the led from turning (almost) fully off on the down flicker, the reason why is that the way they are at the moment, they give to hard of a flicker and the result of it makes the bulb feel more like a raging fire instead of just a playful gas flame, you can also try and slightly slow down the flame flicker profile, and that might help as well The reason why i bring this up is that when this was installed inside an over hang light, the effect was said to have an almost strobe like effect (and then installing two at the same time made that feeling worst) Note: This was tested in a blacked out room with it being the only source of light I will say this effect is not felt as hard outside, in fact i will say they look wonderful outside light fixtures and are very bright for what they are at 3w Other then that, they seem well made and I'm at the moment running them though longevity test and how they handle

This replaced my driveway pole lamp for use as a Christmas decoration. It is ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE in its operation!!!! Never have i seen any electric light bulb that looks like a burning flame!!! Not just a single flame, but the lamp looks like more than one flame! It's unbelievable to look at it and think it's an electric light bulb!!! I'm 66 yrs old and retired electrician. If you want to have other style flame bulbs, buy this brand. If one looks this good, I'd be confident that all their lights will be as fantastic. Trust me me, get this brand. Merry Christmas!!! PS..... on my star rating, there was a brightness star rating. I gave a 2 because, it's not made for brightness, but a candle light flame not to light up the place!

Well, I am very happy with them. I bought a few boxes and i use them in different places of the house, even indoor. One of my client has true gaslight, just like they have in New Orleans and Savannah and the likes cities. his lights, although have a good flame, show the entrance but do not brighten the entrance as a regular lightbulb can. So, even though i would have like my entrance a bit brighter I must recognize that the glow is very realistic in the way it mimics a gas light. I'll compensate by adding sconces to add more light,. I've seen people slowing down their car to look at them. A friend of mine tried a different model/brand, and although the store picture looked the same we can both tell that this brand is far superior, and not even the most expensive of all. The ones I used inside the house on the mantle look fantastic due to the nature of the lamp and shade they are in. You judge for yourself.

did not work, horribly cheaply made, got stuck in my fitting. NOTHING like the photos as it is all white plastic so no way if it had worked you could see flames. Terrible. RETURNED

Me gustaron mucho, y sobretodo que NO tienen esos 4 modos (ridiculos) que tienen la mayoria de flame bulbs. Se me hace una tonteria eso de los 4 modos, y que se intercambie de modos prendiendo y apagando el foco... Estos me encantaron estos, prácticos y solamente es ponerlo hacia arriba o hacia abajo y el movimiento de la flama se ajusta. Me gustaria que como otros focos tuvieran la opcion de base negra en vez de blanca, daria un mejor efecto creo.

They work

nous les utilisons depuis plusieurs mois maintenant fonctionne toujours bien donne une belle ambiance dans une pièce j'achèterais à nouveau sans hésitations.

Love these lights! Awesome for watching movies
