4 Flame Bulbs Compared: As Seen on TV vs Amazon

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Today I'm comparing four LED flame bulbs to see which is best. One is an As Seen on TV offering and the other three are popular options on Amazon. (By the way, KZread has eliminated polls, so you won't see it anymore!)

    Here's a thing you might not know: most of those "flickering" flame effect lights animate the flame effect by using a very special signal source - Chinese jingle song generators! if you connected a speaker you could hear music! you can even "pick up" the light using a light dependent resistor and amplify it! Those jingle chips are used because of how cheap they are - cheaper than making a dedicated "flame" chip. Hope someone found that fact fun!

    Of the ones I've tried, the Hudsons are my favorite so far--relatively bright and natural motion--and they have a range of packages available.

    I own the Omicoo one. I bought them for my outside lights for Halloween. They looked very cool, however I wouldn’t recommend as a normal outside light as it is much dimmer than a normal bulb, and this one was even the brightest I could find. Would definitely look cool as accent lighting indoors, but I only used for Halloween and packed them away. I also never used the other modes, which I regret, because that “breathing” mode looked cool. Next time I unpack them I will have to do so.

    I like the lumiereholic the best as it looks the most like an actual flame. The others don't really look like flames to me, but that might be because of them being on camera instead in person.

The Bell and Howell looks good also but maybe it's best intended for a farther distance away or inside of a frosty or colored or tinted globe. 👍

    I bought the Omicoo bulbs (4 pack) and I was so excited to finally get them. Upon plugging one into a lamp to test, I was sadly disappointed that the color wasn't a flame color at all - it was PINK! I thought maybe it was the color of the lamp shade or the wall paint in the room so I tried them outside with 2 bulbs in my porch lights where I hoped to use these and they were still PINK! I tried taking pictures or video with my phone and the craziest thing was I could not get the pink to show at all. It looked prefect on video or picture. I left them on for hours hoping they may changed after use but nope, never changed. So my only complaint is color, the way it worked and the direction change when flipped was great. But I don't want a flickering pink light on my porch, lol. Attempting to return.

    I've tried 2 brands, Luxon and Eco-LED. The bulbs are pretty much identical, and look almost identical to the omicoo in your review. Both are 4 mode bulbs (including upside-down mode). Both have very good flame effects. The thing that bothers me about them is that they are both slightly pinkish-orange. It's a very strange color. I would like them to be more yellow-orange, like a real flame. On camera they appear much more yellow than they are live, so photos and videos are deceptive. I still like them well enough, but I look forward to the technology getting better in the next few years.

If you colored the cover an amber or yellow color, I bet the flame would look better,, eh?

Second both the Omicoo and hudson do look amazing you have to consider the fixture you will be putting it in. The downside of the Omicoo for me was the tall white base it has compared to the others and its overall height.
