Would you consider these fiber optic branches? Do the lights flicker or are they stationery? Thanks for your help.

I do not know about fiber optic, but they are stationary. They do not flicker or waver.

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 did not intend anything but positive comments. I love these lights they have a vintage look and are beautiful. I have four strands of 100 lights. They are perfect for weddings and anywhere you need some beautiful lighting. I did not know they were dimmable as the other comment said. I'll have to look into that.

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.

i havent had any problems with them. so im assuming that its not normal, if its just one id change it, but it sounds like your saying all are dimming out. May be an alternative issue, but it could very well be possible that its the cheap lights!?

not in my string of lights. they're one-piece and really small, but put out lots of intense light. pretty! but, i'd rather have green or dark colored wires instead of white. when the lights are off, it looks lke big spider webss hanging off my wall. hope this helps.

Yes, all four of mine flickered. I sent them back. I had a set of Philips LED bulbs in the same sockets and they never flickered, so I'm replacing these with another set of Philips LED bulbs. I suspect if your lights were flickering then you have voltage inconsistencies in your house (even though you didn't have them on a dimmable switch) and a bulb marked "dimmable" will probably be able to handle it without flickering.

Some of the bulbs blink occasionally. They look really festive and I haven't had a problem with them at all. I hang them over a doorway.

They will be bright enough. Some people experience a humming sound with them, but I haven't had that problem. The biggest problem is that it's difficult, at times, to connect to the lights. This is particularly bothersome when you're trying to turn them off at night.

Yes! They are great I just used them for a wedding and we had (5) 50ft strands and were able to plug all lights together for a continuous strand.

I have two setup, both on CF bulbs. I have 8 bulbs on one circuit, and one of the bulbs I noticed flickers for a few minutes after you turn them off. Something new I found out, when the power goes out, then comes back on, the lights on these units come on with the power.

In my humble opinion, terrible. Do yourself a favor and get these. LED2020 LED Vintage Filament Bulb, G25 Globe Edison Style, 4W to Replace 40W Incandescent Bulb, Soft White (2700K), 120VAC, E26 Medium Base, Not Dimmable, 3PACK The light quality is beautiful. The color temp is perfect. They are clear and they have a cool retro element you can see when they light up. I own two high end portrait studios and we use these in our changing rooms. I bought almost 50 and have zero regrets. The only downside, they are not dimable. I also learned that if you are going to use motion sensors to turn these on and off, you need motion sensors compatible with LED bulbs. Hope this helps! In my humble opinion, terrible.

I don't think they are designed to flicker. LED lights are sometimes dimmable but usually they're either on or off.

Defiantly. Fiber optic only amps light where as these will glow bright even in the darkest conditions. I would recommend a gunsmith to put them in as xd sights are pressed in and really hard to remove without the proper tools.

In my original review I pointed out that these flicker when dimmed, could also be associated with buzzing since the load is on and off. Mine are still going strong after considerable use, however, I rarely dim since the flickering is irritating.

They are bright enough. However, I've been having problems with visible pulsating when the lights are dimmed below 60%. Not totally noticeable with the naked eye, but the pulsating appears on the video in post production.

The light does not project a great distance. The tips of the fibers glow blue. It really couldn't be used as a room light. It is nice, and gives a nice blue glow. Expect a little shedding of the fiber strands. My grand kids love it. For the money, it's nice piece.
