I ordered 2 of these, very happy with them so far. However, one of the 2 is much yellower and dimmer. Not sure what is going on, any suggestions?

Well, Chad. The ones i bought work Perfect, No Issues. Sounds like your problem could be a Ground Issue? I guess i would hook them up, one at a time, to a good 12volt battery. makeing sure if the problem follows the same light. then...take that light apart and look for any possible Faults?

Make sure all connection are good,, inside the light as well ..might have to take it apart ...

I first tried it with the old dimmer but it flickered a lot when starting up. Also, there wasn't quite as big a range of illumination. I had a new install as well with a LED dimmer and that has a much wider range of illumination--all the way down to barely visible. Using Lutron dimmers that state that they are for LEDs. Good luck, and welcome to the future!

Mine worked right away! It's just that the light only project upwards on the way and it's yellow not a warm glow!

I would return the lamp you got. I did not have this problem. Make sure u ordered the correct replacement.

Personally I think these give off an artificial yellowy tinted light. I would suggest going with a different bulb if you're looking for a natural quality to the light it produces.

I believe you do. The same thing happened to me. I called the distributor of the bulbs and they confirmed that the dimmer model I was using was not compatible. I would recommend calling them to see if any dimmer is compatible, since the specs say they are NOT dimmable. Dimming was not critical for me, so I replaced the dimmer with a simple switch and have had no problems.

Call Amazon, I had the same problem with two of the four lamps that I have ordered over the past few months. I e They were great and replace the two, and I asked for a discount on the other two and kept them just for nite light, and they still are only warm. I am happy with amazons customer service , the two that they replaced are still not as warm as the first one I bought, so it must be just the luck of the draw. they look great, and they do seem to help with odors. in my mind I feel that they are doing me some good, so what else matters. Good luck with your lamps.

I loved this bulb when infirst got it but I have a few problems now. If you get the 2700K warmth it does get close to the yellow light of an incandescent bulb. My biggest issues are these 1. They are not all the same color. They have slightly different shades. This is common among LED bulbs. Difficult to notice differences when they are in lamps but when they are in a light fixture spaced inches apart it's evident. If recommend getting a few extra and returning the ones that don't match the others. 2. Mine buzz (only in my pendant like fixture) I changed the dinner but still buzzed)3. As they age: 1 out of 8 have died and 2 have gotten dimmer than the others. I loved this bulb when infirst got it but I have a few problems now.

I had mine up for about a month before it started to flicker and dim. I put up with it working sometimes and finally went to lowes and bought one that works all the time.

I think I found an answer to the issue. The problem I had is that I changed the settings immediately to "Dynamic," which raises the brightness significantly, and is only supposed to be used in a very bright room. When I put the settings back to normal everything looks great and the side light issues disappear. I guess I just need to listen to the suggestions of what the different picture modes are for.

Are they CFL light bulbs? I heard, but don't know for sure, that they may not be able to be dimmed. I'm probably all wet. My Lutron works GREAT and I love it. So sorry for your woes.

I have two of these two-cell Maglites that are about 2-3 years old. One of them has started dimming just as you describe, but the other works perfectly. If I turn the dimming one off for a few hours, it works fine when I turn it back on, but only for maybe 30 seconds or so. Then it dims way, way down again.Frustrating. Maybe it is a bad switch or a short-circuit somewhere.

I have four of those. Same thing happened to one of mine. I recommend a lamp dimmer. Saves energy, and the look is warmer and better in my opinion. I think mine blew cause I had all four of them on one extension cord. But after installing the dimmer I haven't had any more problems.

Mine lost a lot of their opacity since I first bought them (so I'll need to try the recommended "tip-down" method) so my yellow did not show up very well. Mostly because there was not a lot of contrast, and the white board is really only white under very bright lighting.

They dim fine. I had issue with 2 out of 14 that buzzed. I notice that they only buzz at particular levels. returned the 2 and end up with 1 still buzzing. I move that one to a different fixture with dimmer and the buzzed keep on. so in the end I just move it to an on/off lamp.

I've had the same problem, and just got a bulb from Flukers. I've only had it a few days, but so far, so good.

I didn't have that problem, though did notice one was dimmer than the other, so I rotated it in the housing so it was the same as other other side and now it's a wow experience! My wife loves how far she can see driving my truck that she wants some too.
