Thread: Anyone seen these flicker bulbs?

Tweet

Hey everyone. While looking around for some flicker lights I came across these:

They are electric LED "candle" lights that claim to move every 7 to 11 seconds and I assume have the same flicker as the electric tea lights. I was wondering if anyone knew about these or even had them. There isn't any video to show what they look like on. They are also on the expensive side at $32 for a two pack... just wanted to show you guys... Thanks and happy haunting!

Oh, btw, here is a video of the candles.... They actually don't look as realistic as I thought... but what do you think?

I think the intermittent flicker of the cheapies looks more realistic than that.

What with the advances in LED technology over the last 5 years, I wish I could find single bulb flicker candles, both tea lights and sticks, that are bright enough to really illuminate a pumpkin or luminaire or be convincing in a candlestick. Even some of the more expensive ones I've found are still pretty dim, output wise. The tap-light 3-LED flicker ones are pretty darn bright but if you have a big opening in the pumpkin it looks exactly like "there's a tap-light in the pumpkin" and I usually use real candles on Halloween night. I'm sure I could build something brighter but I'd prefer to just buy it.

I just bought a Spirit 3-stick candelabra and the lights are a bit brighter than most of the ones out there, but still not anywhere near a real flame (I absolutely love it as a prop though. For some reason I really like candelabras.)
