Are these flame retardant? I want to use with clear strand of lights.

I honestly don't know but I wouldn't take a chance with them. They have a cloth feel to them although I'm sure they're made out of some kind of plastic.

Paper thin is a good description. One on line answer says that they are 3 thousandths of an inch thick. Lifeway (9/25) said they thought these were good for theater lighting heat levels, but I didn't see that in the current description. I don't doubt that they would melt or at least discolor in high heat, but I do use them on 5 Watt LED candelabra bulbs (40 watt equiv) in an outdoor application and the heat of full sun doesn't affect them and they haven't faded or warped.

I don't think they are. Actually, I highly doubt it. I've used them in regular light fixtures and have been very pleased with them. Their output is high, although I haven't measured it in lumens. Color balanced seems spot on, compared to natural daylight. I put them in a softbox and they work quite well. Regards, Steve

No a match or lighter will light them easily and no flare up so they are safe. I used them the other day to burn a pile of brush. I used one on each side and it burned beautifully. Great product. I was using a chimney to light lump charcoal for my Kamado grill but the fire starter works great.

Yes. They are the halogen work lamp bulbs, like you would get for portable construction site lights. Just like those, you'll have to turn them on and let them sit in a well ventilated area (outside) for about 5-10 minutes to burn off the chemical coating before your first use. After that you'll be fine. Very bright and VERY hot!

I really don't think it will cause a fire (my opinion) Since these are LEDs and produce a very lower heat. But I cannot grantee...it might depend how long your are going to keep the lights on...

I haven't tried that but I don't know why they wouldn't. They are like a regular light bulb in every sense. Unless you mind the flame pointing down which it does not seem like you would. Just remember they put off no real light, they are for decorative purposes and produce a beautiful glow. I love them and would try it for sure.

I don't why they wouldn't be safe. The use less power and generate less heat than a conventional incandescent equivalent.

I decided to light one up, just to see. The answer is no, they are not flameproof. Should you decide to purchase these, we decided that the best way to separate the petals was by either wearing a rubber glove, or using some of the tacky stuff that you can put on your fingers, usually made for office workers. Wet fingertips also work.

No, use at your own risk. I used these to put LED in California CFL fixtures. Very low wattage.

Yes, but I would NOT advice to buy these....They do NOT work!!! I had ordered these for something very special and our special day was completely ruined because they would NOT light...None of them would catch on fire. We were heart broken!

Hi. I'm writing from Naturepedic. Absolutely not. We don't use those flame retardants in any of our products.

These ARE paper thin, and if the lighting is cool to warm, they should work well for you. They did not work well in my application however. They were sold as being able to be used with hot theatrical lighting, but they will melt and ruin anything moderately hot that they come in contact with. Hope this helps.

Where they are used isn't an issue so long as the fixture in which they are used is rated accordingly. By careful to not use them where they are not approved, as there is a fire risk involved. If your fixture is not rated for 150 watts, you may be in danger.

The ones I got did not include fluid. I doubt they would be considered flammable but that may depend on the carrier and jurisdiction.

These are meant for open use in a chandelier, which is how I have been using them. If they were protected there should be no problem with using them outdoors. They are good bulbs.

Not necessarily. I used them on a countertop as they are. Just ensure there are no flammable items near it (same as with any open flame). You can also adjust the wick up with some pliers and this affects the height of the flame
