Hudson LED Halloween Bulbs - Flame Effect, 4‑Mode Upside Down & 3W Flicker - E26/E27 Orange Fire - 2‑Pack for Indoor/Outdoor - Flame Light

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.

I have started a trend on my street. I installed these, and then flame effect bulbs started showing up all over on my street!These work exactly as advertised. The built-in sensor flips the flame effect so it’s always burning upwards.I would not recommend these for indoor use, at least not as a permanent installation. We tried them inside and, while the effect was cool, it was really hard to be in a dark room with all the flickering. They would be a great effect for Halloween parties!The only complaint I have is that both the bulbs I ordered started acting up within 12-18 months. By acting up, I mean they started to flicker when running. However, Hudson stood by their product and replaced both bulbs, free of charge. Thank you to Hudson for their excellent customer service!Regardless of the original bulbs acting up, I would still recommend these bulbs. They have been great since getting the replacements, and not many places stand by their products like the folks at Hudson have done.

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!

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 wellThe 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 lightI 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 3wOther then that, they seem well made and I'm at the moment running them though longevity test and how they handle

I'm really pleased with this bulb. It works like charm upward or downward. I give them a 5 star's towards longevity even is brand new. But I did my research and this brand is rated as one of the best companies on lights manufacturing and I'm very confident it will give me hundreds of hours of enjoyment and nice atmosphere in my balcony. The video that I posted doesn't make any justice to the flame looking in the bulb. But it very realistic patterns... Imagine that a neighbor came hysterical, knockin on my front door to let me know that my balcony light was getting on fire... buajajaja!!! It was hilarious his face expression ones I explain him that it's an LED bulb, I show him and he got very excited about it that he ask me to buy another one for his balcony. Overall it's a great buy, and we love now to sit on the balcony with a glass of wine and nice music in the background.

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.

I tried out a few different flame LED lights and this one has been the best so far.The tilt sensor is good for knowing orientation - worked perfectly for me.The flame effect is the most realistic looking yet. If you scrutinize it closely you can figure out the pattern is runs, but to the casual observer it does look relatively flame-like. Definitely better than the other flam bulbs I tried.I like how this one doesn't have "modes" like some other models do. You know that each time you turn it off/on it will do the flame effect. With the other models turning it off/on changes modes so every time your light turns on it'll change from flame to solid to pulse - annoying if all you want is the flame effect.The constructions feels solid enough. It's a recent purchase so I can't speak to longevity yet but I feel like I could trust it to last at least a year or more.Consider the size. These things are a little long. You should check dimensions before assuming it'll fit inside whatever you want to put it in.I wanted mine to automatically turn on, so I also bought daylight/photocell detector sockets to go with them. Note that doing this will further extend the height (largest dimension) of the total bulb assembly. Functionally this has been working great for me. Just make sure your assembly will fit the way you intend it to.

AppearanceHudson 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.)SafetyIn 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 CostLED 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 IssueI 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.

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

These are as described, very warm orangey glow and nice flicker. Something I discovered by accident is a way to make the flickering stop (at least for MY lamps). If I turn the lamp on there is a flickering effect. If I then turn the lamp off and immediately on again there is the same warm glow but without the flickering which is what I find preferable sometimes. They are too dim to light up a room, but alone do create a cozy warm ambience much as candles would.

These are fantastic, I could not be happier!! The flame effect is very realistic, I love the gravity orientation function…simply invert the bulb and the flame automatically flips to go upward…very cool. Excellent Quality and Fast Shipping…we placed the bulbs in our porch light and the two lamps alongside our garage. It gives our home a wonderful warm inviting look…5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend this product and seller!!
