Thread: Grandin Road Black Candle Pathway Markers Info Needed ASAP

Tweet

Free shipping ends tonight in 3 1/2 hours & I phoned Grandin Road 5 minutes too late to speak to a products specialist so Im hoping someone here can help.

Im thinking of ordering 2 sets to put alongside my deck but I can find no info as to the type or wattage of the bulbs.

I have several flicker bulb props and have plenty of 1 watt replacements that are the clear type with the little flicker mechanism inside (hope Im explaining this OK). From what I can see from the photo on the website these seem to be of the silicone type, I dont know. If anyone here bought these was there any info included about replacement bulbs? It doesnt appear as though GR sells the bulbs unless it's simply not listed on their site.

Also if you have these do you like them? Is the light output decent? I really wouldnt want them super bright but also not invisible to the street. Also do they simply give an orange glow or do they have a flicker effect?

Hey thanks to all, I should've posted earlier considering the free shipping deadline in a few hours but I thought I would be able to speak directly to a service rep for the bulb info.

I appreciate your help

I don't have the path markers, so I can't help you there. But here is another free shipping code. MLGRH Exp 9/30. That should buy you some more time to get more info and decide.

Thank you Velvet

I wasnt aware of this other free shipping code. I am a new customer as of last week when I placed my first order.

Are there any "strings" attached to this new code? I tried to find it online but it didnt come up. Yes you have just bought me time, I will call GR tomorrow to get some info.

Still welcoming any input from forum members

You're very welcome.
The code for free shipping sitewide, and is from a full page "Martha Stewart for Grandin Road" ad in the October issue of Martha Stewart Living Magazine. It is for standard shipping charges within the contiguous U.S. Excludes Truck, Expedited, & In Home Delivery shipments. Can't be combined with any other promotions.

Have you read through the "GR Halloween Haven Is Up" thread? I *think* there was someone giving details on the path markers in that thread.

is there a minimum order amount for that free ship?

I did read through the entire GR Halloween Haven" thread and saw a couple of posts regarding the path markers, I even tried to contact one of the posters via PM but there has been no response.

It does seem as though the buyers of these light like them, my only concern is in finding replacement bulbs. Im always having bulbs burn out!!

Thank you again for that code, maybe I'll take a peak at the Martha Stewart Living magazine while Im shopping tomorrow. Is there a Halloween section in this issue? I know she's really into the holiday, I have to say I LOVE her stuff. I did order the MS Werewolf from Grandin Road last week. I like that it is unique.

Oops. I told you the wrong issue. The ad is in the Sept issue. I'm a subscriber, but haven't gotten the October issue yet.

I'd be concerned about the bulbs, too. It seems like I saw similar bulbs in a boutique mall once, but I don't recall seeing them anywhere else. So they might be hard to replace. Of course, if you google hard enough, you can find about anything on the internet. ;-)

I will be calling GR tomorrow on those bulbs, and I'm going to save the code you gave me for free shipping. If they are too hard to replace (ie hard to find or overpriced) then I'll just forget it. However with that code you gave me I may still find something else before the month is over. This gives me time to ponder some of the other goodies on their site

And I am still going to check out the MS Living magazine tomorrow

Thanks again Velvet, I appreciate your help and hope you have a great week.

They look like the standard flicker strand bulb it is silicone.I bought 3 sets of them here is a picture.

Thank you very much for taking the time to post the photo! Those look like bulbs I have seen at Jo-ann fabric store.

Does the packaging say anything about wattage? Do you like the lighting effect they produce?

Your photos is a big help, I think I may go ahead and buy the 2 sets I need
