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

Wow, do I love this light they look like real gas lights! I have them on both garage structures and my guest home the yard look amazing, with them on!

The media could not be loaded. 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.

The media could not be loaded. 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.

love it but not sure if its me but seems like its loosing its brightness over the time since my purchase a few moths ago but would and have bought again and 100% recommend. easy to use and figure out .light bulb are durable as and some cat related accidents and the bulb did not break after hitting floor! call me lucky but Im happy!

But as a special effect on each side of the garage door, for Halloween. It worked great. I’ll probably just put them in every Halloween season.

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.

Absolutely love these. Superb flame effect. Nice and bright. Love the different modes too because you can vary how much light it gives off. We got these for our garage for Halloween season….we thought of other colors but we wanted kids to see the lights and know we are handing out candy. That’s why we went with the orange color. Can’t say enough good things about this Hudson brand. Five enthusiastic stars!
