Dimmable E12 LED Candelabra Bulb Set - 4W, 40W Equivalent - 2700KWarm Light Vintage Style Candle Lightbulb for Chandelier, Ceiling Fan, Sconce, Desk Lamp or Porch Lights Torpedo Top (Pack of 12)

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).

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.

These candelabra LED bulbs look nice and dim well. I replaced 15 bulbs in a chandelier with these. When I recently purchased my new house, it had 15 incandescent bulbs in there which were hooked to a dimmer. The dimmer was rated for 400 watts for being in the 3 gang box it was in, whereas 15x 40W incandescent bulbs = 600 watts. The dimmer switch was overloaded and would get dangerously hot. I replaced all 15 bulbs with these 4 watt LED bulbs for a total load of 60 watts. The switch is no longer overloaded and therefor no longer gets hot. The bulbs are equally as bright (if not brighter) and have obvious energy savings as well, but most importantly is now safe. My only complaint is the bright yellow color of the "filaments" in the Edison-style bulbs when they're off. I wish they weren't so bright/ugly yellow and were more of a darker copper color. From what I've seen though, it appears all Edison style LED bulbs have this color (I searched for other options first). When the lights are on, these are not visible unless the light is dimmed pretty low. In that case it looks nice when lit though. At higher brightness there is enough light they aren't individually visible.

These are working out great in chandeliers I have hanging in my home. I have replaced the bulbs in two so far, and have ordered more to replace the last one to be more energy efficient. The initial cost is higher, but I am hoping they save money and energy in the long run. I did have an unfortunate experience of watching the delivery person throw the first set I ordered at the front door. I hadn't gotten any notice of anyone delivering my package to the door, and as I have a doorbell and surveillance camera through Vivint, did not get a response that someone had been to my front door. Upon reviewing my camera log, I watched the package flung to land at the door. I notified Amazon of the issue. As I often read reviews of defective or non functioning items from other customers on Amazon, I realized this may be the cause...sloppy or lazy delivery people! I would recommend more people invest in surveillance cameras. They come in handy. My second set of bulbs were delivered much more professionally. Due to the great packaging of the bulbs, all were intact and functioning as required. These bulbs sit a bit higher than typical flame tip bulbs because the base is a bit longer, but it does not distract from the overall effect. The dimming function works well. I would recommend starting at the highest setting and lowering as needed. They do seem to be brighter than the bulbs replaced and make my chandeliers glow.

When they work, these are pretty good bulbs. I ordered just 6 regular-tip bulbs at first to see how they performed and was happy with those, so I ordered dozens more to begin replacing in all my decorative chandeliers and lamps throughout my home. These all worked with a variety of different dimmers. These bulbs have a normal-length thread on the base, but they have a large diameter square ledge right above the threads that tends to prevent the bulb from fully screwing into many traditional fixtures. The particular sockets in my fixtures do not have a movable "tab" at the bottom that can be lifted, so the only way to get the bulb to fit is to cut down the top of the socket. I used a dremel tool to grind off the top plastic portion of the socket on most of my light fixtures that now allows the new LED bulbs to completely screw down into the socket Of the new ones, there were three that worked at first but then just quit within a few days. I tried those individual failed bulbs in other sockets that are working to make sure that it was the bulb and not the fixture. Overall, the success rate has been about 95% (1 failure out of 20). Overall, these bulbs look good (glass all the way down to the base) and are the closest in appearance to traditional incandescent bulbs. They have a good range of brightness and color levels with a dimmer.

OK, I LOVE these lightbulbs. I have a chandelier in my place that I can't use as much as I'd like because with incandescent bulbs it gives off so much heat. I tried a couple other brands of LED candelabra bulbs and they had this huge plastic lump at the bottom which was an eyesore, so I ended up returning them and going back to incandescent. Completely by chance Amazon recommended these Hudson bulbs, and I'm so glad they did. They have the classic flame tip that looks great on a chandelier, there's no bulky plastic lump at the bottom, and they give off a great amount of light. They have the classic Edison style filament appearance too which is a nice addition. I use a Lutron dimmer for the chandelier, and it dims these bulbs almost perfectly. I feel like the response curve is a little off (the top half of the dimmer does virtually nothing and the bottom half does the whole thing), but perhaps that's my fault. The bulbs flicker a LITTLE at the very bottom of the dimming cycle, but honestly they are so dim at that point that I would never have them at that brightness anyway, and the flickering isn't particularly noticeable unless you're staring at the bulb. Super happy overall, you should get these bulbs.

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.

I recently decide that we needed to remove the ceiling fan in our bedroom and replace it with something smaller and more interesting. So I chose this really cool "French Bordello" light fixture. Nothing like keeping the romance going with a little nifty decor. I didn't choose standard candelabra bulbs. Instead, I when with these tube-shaped LED Edison bulbs from Hudson. These are 4 watt (40W equivalent) in 3000K warm white. Each one is about 400 lumens. Once installed, these bulbs made the fixture pretty striking to look at. And the quality and warmth of the light is just perfect. 3000K is just right. It's warm but still shows real colors. These bulbs are perfect for my wife while doing makeup and dressing.
