Dimmable E12 LED Candelabra Bulb Set - 4W, 40W Equivalent - 2700K Warm Light Vintage Style Candle Lightbulb for Chandelier, Ceiling Fan, Sconce, Desk Lamp or Porch Lights, Torpedo Top (Pack of 6)

This is my fourth round of changing out incandescent, compact florescent, and halogen bulbs for LED ones. I stopped going to retail stores to purchase light bulbs ever since our government decided that it was a brainiac when it comes to light bulbs and muddied the waters. (Remember their original claims about compact florescent light bulbs?) I have been buying through the internet for awhile and I had purchased six LED candelabra bulbs of a different brand from another online retailer, so--for a change and purely accidentally since those other bulbs were not currently available -- I have something by which I can compare the new ones. (In other words, I am not making this stuff up.) The four, yellow LED bars in the bulbs are not as noticeable in the fixture as they are in the product photographs online and they turn to white soon after one raises the lighting level above the "Let's leave a little light on so we don't trip over the dog" level. These bulbs have no writing on them, which is a big plus for me, since OCD-Me was bothered by the black lettering clearly visible on the other brand when the chandelier was off. The bulbs arrived quickly and all of them worked. They were nestled in their little, clear plastic shells, snug as bugs. I remembered to remove the clear, rubber-like guards from the bases before I installed them and then tested the range of dimming compared to the older bulbs, which were in the twin chandelier. (Yes, I have two chandeliers in one room.) The new bulbs have a wider range of brightness compared to the older ones, and as the dimmers are the same brand and type, I would say that these bulbs give me more choices of lighting level. By the way, the Kelvin level of 2700 gives a clean light which is not too cool. My artwork now looks great in the evening. I plan to purchase more of these Hudson bulbs for the other chandelier and move the older ones to a pair of sconces where the lettering will be seen only by the lamp shades.

We were looking for Candelabra LED bulbs that did not Flicker at full brightness (previous brands tested, flickered badly at 120Hz on non-dimming application), and compatible with older ON-Q ALC Dimmer. These bulbs are amazing, there is no perceptible flicker (see measured results photo, very low flicker index of .2), and they dim completely on old dimmer (very important, since older ALC ON-Q dimmers were very expensive, and communicate with Smart House ALC controller using a pre-wired RS-485 control link). Other brands we reviewed would not dim to "OFF" unless we left in an incandescent bulb in chandelier to load the circuit, not so with the Hudson bulb. They dim completely; the only issue is the bulbs tend to flicker below 20% based on slight power fluctuations when dimmed. This is more than likely the fault of the dimmer, since it is not designed for the fast rise time of LEDs. We also were impressed with the customer service. Hudson sent an email asking if all the bulbs were in working order, and how we liked them. In our first order we found a bulb that was cracked, and Hudson made sure the bulb was replaced in a timely manner. Here is what we liked about the bulbs: * No perceptible flicker (.2 Index see image) * Quality Construction * Nice warmness at full intensity (2700° K) * Very Bright (see comments below) * Works well on older dimmers (Dims to OFF). * Extended Temperature Range (we have suffered LED lamp failures from other manufacturers when temperature dropped into the teens). * UL Approved So what did we find that Hudson might want to change? If you have more than one light in a fixture, you will more than likely need a Dimmer. We would like to see Hudson offer a lower wattage bulb when used on a chandelier without a dimmer. We installed 9 of the Flame Tip version (no shade) on a dining chandelier and we had to install one of the ON-Q dimmers we had on hand (it would have been too bright). We have another fixture that uses 9 bulbs with individual shades and we need to install a dimmer on it as well. What else would we like changed? Most chandeliers we have are brass color, and the base of the bulb that extends from the threads could be changed to brass color to match. See the photo below: Suggestions: * Produce a 40W or 25W equivalent with same quality (NO FLICKER DESIGN) * Change color of Base to Brass as an option to bulbs We wish to thank Hudson for taking care of their customers. We ordered a total of 48 bulbs (12 were Flame Tip), one was cracked (replaced by Hudson), the other had something like wax on the glass (we scraped off, still need to test the bulb).

Now that I've had these nearly a month, I wanted to post my review. These arrived very well packaged, and all worked properly out of the box. After nearly a month after installing these in some indoor sconce/accent lights that we typically don't use super often, I have to say I've been very happy with these. None have failed, the light color is true as advertised and are a nice warm light color (basically identical to the traditional bulbs I replaced). I've also noticed these are slightly brighter than the traditional bulbs I replaced, not significantly brighter, but noticeably if you install them side-by-side. I like that these don't generate the heat of traditional bulbs, and use a fraction of the energy. I've switched to LED lighting throughout my home and these were the last lights I had to change, and I'm much happier with these bulbs from Hudson versus similar bulbs that I tested/tried from both Lowes and Home Depot. I would recommend these and would definitely purchase again.

These are absolutely fantastic lights. I have been comparing many bulbs and these by far are the best. The style is great because they look just like the incandescent candelabra bulbs i took out. Very clean light and dim quite smoothly. I am using them with Lutron Maestro dimmers, the LED version and they work great. The only comment i would make is i dont think they are truly 2700K, probably closer to 2800-2900K but still a very comfortable light. HIghly recommended. Oh, and i had one bad light in the pack.. it worked but here was a piece of loose plastic inside.. i contacted teh company and they got back to me within hours and arranged to have a free bulb sent to me. Excellent service.

Dear Amazon customer. These bulbs are good for North America. They last nanoseconds anywhere else. Since we use a 240 volt ac system in Europe and most of Asia. If you have a grid with 110volt nominal voltage try, otherwise forget this bulb

Para mi comedor respecto a durabilidad Todavía no lo se espero duren muchos años Precio magnífico

Funciona muy bien
