Why are all flicker light bulbs orange???? Looking for a white/yellow one that looks more like a real flame!!!

They are orange because of the resistance needed to create the effect. I have not seen a white or yellow flicker bulb. Not sure if they are made.

No, the bulbs do not flicker; they look just like incandescents. Even the color of the light is like incandescent, not the blinding white I hoped to avoid. One of the two bulbs I purchased takes a fraction of a second to come on, the other instantly. Otherwise, they are perfect for me. I am very pleased with them.

They flicker when you dim them. I wouldn't recommend it for dimming. Sorry. We bought in bulk for standard lighting but have dimmers on them but don't use it.

I am still using the original bulb that came with the fan. It looks like an old kitchen florescent . I also bought a spare bulb when I bought the fan. Sorry I can't be of more help.

The ones we have are all neon yellow. My husband who uses them in Connecticut does not have this problem. Sorry tried to help.

Mine turns on just fine with no flickering, but mine is in our heated house. Typically the flickering is caused from using a fluorescent type fixture in a lower air temperature (below 35-40). The ballasts on most of these you find in HD or Lowes aren't made to work in lower temperatures and they will flicker until they warm up.

Actually, I know this is late, but the orange one actually glows a more of red light. In the dark it looks like a red volcano. I thought it would be orange, but yea, it is more on the red side. It doesn't matter to me really, but it isn't really too calming, if that is what you're looking for.

The flickering is more candles light to dim...The lights are frosted and the colors are soft...even the dark ones so the lighting is not bright but enough to softly light a room....flicker gives candle effects....hope that helps

definitely not a white light, more of a yellow/orange,,, the original candle that I had difficulty with and replaced the battery is now completely dead. The other one still works.

No flickering problem here. Is it on a dimmer? If so, check the type. An older dimmer might mess with your leds.

You have the option of choosing the "candle" which gives you a flicker like a candle. The "light" is just that, it doesn't flicker it's just on. Does that make sense?

The flickering is just like a candle. I really like it and it changes color.

I love mine. They all arrived in perfect shape. I have them in an antique hurricane lamp and they flicker like a flame in the window. But I only use them in the evening and not all the time so I'm not sure how many hours but it seems to me they burn a long time. I still have several left and when they are all done, I will order more.

I think they do flicker like real ones. I really like mine. Nice not to have to worry about flame. I am very happy with mine.

Very slight flicker when turning on -- not annoying at all. Instant on. However, they do flicker when it is time to change a bulb. I've had 20 in my family room ceiling since 1993. They are on constantly and I haven't had to change a bulb in over 15 months.

its called a daylight bulb & they are a fluorescent, which is what you want from what i have read. its bright and white, no yellow. im new to this also but it has worked great for increasing bright clean lighting and not having the shadowing that comes with lack of. good for smaller items, and helps if i need just a little more light for larger shoots

The light quality is very white(?,) not like sunlight or regular (incandescent) light bulbs. This helps me because I think I have (a) cataract(s.)This light quality may not be to the likings of some people. It is artificial... of course... lol!
