You can buy the silicone dipped bulbs that flicker. Both are sold: flicker and steady light.

Yes, the silicone dipped lights really flicker. They are really pretty. I have one burning in a primitive lamp right now. They give of a perfect warm flickering glow.

Mine does not flicker when either raising or lowering the light level on any setting. Based on this limited data I would conclude that flickering is not normal. LOL, I say that because given a choice between not flickering or flickering, NOT flickering seems to be more reassuring (normal)! Have you contacted the manufacturer?

If I put higher watt bulbs in I get more light... its not like the florescent I had, really bright light. I like the "look" of the lights, I am still working on the watt bulbs to be using. Right now I have two outer higher watt, and the center less. Will probably be changing around until I get the adjustment I like. Its not a direct bright light.

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.

There isn't a flicker or a delay. However the light does have to warm up so it isn't as bright when you first turn it on. Also depending on who installed your light fixture when you first put the light bulb in keep the light turned on for an hour. We had to hire a electrician to tell us this because the builders that built our house messed up on the wiring and our light was burning out every six months in one of our bathrooms. The rest of the house the lights have lasted over three years now.

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.

Make sure you are using a high-quality dimmer and one preferably tested and marketed to use with LED lighting. I have been able to dim my bulbs to about 50 percent. Below that, the light flickers or goes completely dark.

Yes I did run CFL bulbs with it. About 12 all at once and there was no "flicker". I had run them with a modified sinewave inverter and it was really bad. This will work for you.

It uses a standard light bulb socket. But I have noticed as these bulbs burn more than 4hours that they have a aggravating flicker to them. So now I use them in short need lighting only, They are installed in a premium hunter ceiling fan with remote control sometime I plan to try them in a standard shade light to see if they still flicker.

looks like it to me--just regular ol' light bulbs, when you turn them on - the room lights up-no squinting, or waiting required!

They are like a regular, old style light bulb. I put it in to replace a compact fluorescent, and it surprised me how bright and wide spread the light was. Definitely what you are looking for, it seems to me.

I have not had a problem with the candelabra bulbs in my ceiling fan. I get lots of light from the ceiling fan in my living room. The only problem I have encountered is "flickering light' due to movement of the ceiling fan. Since my ceiling fan light bulbs point out at an angle, I have more than adequate light. Sorry I couldn't help you out more.

Thank you for contacting us. These lamps do have anti-flicker technology. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact us. Thank you! Laura

I tried it with the fluorescent type of bulb and they flickered. It did work with an incandescent flood, but I wanted something that used less energy. So, I removed it and it is sitting in a box until I can figure out what I want to do with it--give it away or use it.

The light given off by this lamp/bulb is not noticeably different from an incandescent bulb. That is, it warm and has no flicker sometimes found on CFLs. I use it with an in-socket dimmer which gives me a greater range of light levels than a three-way bulb. Also, this lamp gives off very little heat which saves on cooling in warm climates.

The bulbs are dimmable, but not as smooth a transition as an incandescent bulb. They dim, but at a certain point drop off rapidly. There may be some flicker at some point. The main problem for you may be their size. Because of the dimmable feature the base is larger than a non dimmable CFL, thereby extending the overall length and making the width slightly larger. Also, I just had one of the bulbs fail in a cold, unheated room.

No. No candle flicker. Just blinking, strobing, and consistently maintaining.
