4 Flame Bulbs Compared: As Seen on TV vs Amazon

[@cheater00]

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!

[@mr.aizawa5257]

Is there a video of someone showing this? I would love to see it.

[@cameranmanner4701]

i thought it was a row of led lights program to do a flame pattern. not sure about the song you mention. i would like to see a link that you mention.

[@cheater00]

@@cameranmanner4701 something has to control which LEDs get turned on. That's how they do it!

Man I really love this channel, he actually reviews them good & doesn’t just unbox them just to talk about them. Already done purchases because of him.

[@Trazynn]

When you're buying multiple you robably want to combine the Hudson and the Omicoo. That way their pattern won't synchronise when you switch both on at the same time.

[@jaredross9]

I don't have any issue with the Hudson synchronizing.

[@sziltner]

I'm 78 years old, that being said I remember when Bell and Howell was the best movie projectors and cameras. Now Bell and Howell stands for "Don't buy me I am junk." Maybe not the same company? Anyway, I liked the Hudson best with Omicoo a very close second. Last was Bell and Howell. Good video! 👍

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

I'm almost 60 and it's sad what they've done with the Bell and Howell name.

[@MrBomasBalloons]

This has happened to many companies - they declare bankruptcy and have to sell off assets. Sometimes the new owner will continue their product line, sometimes they just want the patents, and sometimes they just want to acquire the name to market cheap generic crap under.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Mr. Boma's Balloons That’s exactly what happened.

[@TechTimeWithEric]

[@Herky2012]

I have a feeling a lamp shade might have an effect on how these look. Might want to give it a try.

[@CrushDani]

Omicoo looks nicest from the video IMHO.

[@marks5777]

I think the 1st one looked the most like a flame type light. I like the 3rd one because it had some flame effect but not as much as the 1st one. I do not like the looks of either the 2nd or the 4th (Bell & Howell)... tie for last.

[@humorinpolitics56]

I picked omicoo. I liked the look of the Hudson a tiny bit more, but the omicoo with the 4 modes and best of all, they come in a 2 pack won out for me.

[@JakeSnake07]

Frankly, the 4 modes doesn't matter. You're only ever going to use two of them. (not to mention that it's really only 3 modes.)

[@semones57]

The fourth one As seen on TV, looks like it is sending out an SOS. The Hudson is my favorite, thanks for sharing.

[@frozerekmeyata4091]

It's difficult to actually see the effect of those bulbs from a camera perspective, but I thought the Omicoo looked the best because it actually had what looked like a flame of gas that floated upwards while dissipating. And the second best was the Hudson.

[@anothergoogler790]

Just a suggestion when you take them out of the box put the box in front of the lamp to distinguish them. Great review. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

[@Turbobuttes]

My favorite would be the Omicoo. Modes aside it's simply the one that flickers the least, so you could actually read something next to it. More of a candle effect than a fireplace effect, which makes complete sense for a light fixture.

[@isingbass]

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 was able to easily mod their rechargeable ones for beautiful stage props. That Lumiereholic one was... different. With the flame cutout shapes I guess it could work for some niche purpose.

[@charlesjohnson3463]

Yknow I never buy any of the products reviewed, nor do I need them. But I have to say I don’t miss a single video. I love watching your vids, there’s something mesmerizing about all of your videos and the way you review products! Love you James keep up the amazing work

[@Thatsmessedupman]

I think the mistake you are making is that these should be put in some sort of open shade or cover and thus you might want the brighter if your shade is or light is dense or frosted.

[@Kelli_D.]

Hudson for the win for me, that 2nd one looks like the fake flame my electric fake fire place puts off lol I don't like the Belle and Howl it's just flickering not a Flame look at all and I just want one for my outside light, I'd think these would not attract bugs in the summer since they're yellow :).. What was Bailey's pick?

[@Mikej1592]

I agree with you, Hudson 1st, Omico 2nd and the other two I just don't care for at all. I think the Hudson looks the best and the ability to install it upside down and it still look like a minecraft torch mounted on the wall is pretty cool. I want to install a few for outdoor party times. Thanks for making this, I sometimes dont like being swamped with choices I never know which one to buy.

[@2788Flyers]

Thanks for doing this. I agree Hudson for the Win! I just ordered mine on Amazon.

[@MrBomasBalloons]

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.

[@mookzmom]

Mr. Boma's Balloons, HEY! I didn’t know about those other 2 brands, but you bring up an interesting question now. I’m thinking you could color the bulb color if you can find a heat resistant dye...like maybe a resin dye or something. If you colored the cover an amber or yellow color, I bet the flame would look better,, eh?

[@Sarcastix7]

Omicoo is definitely the best. It looks like it has flames that shoot off the fire

[@thekrazykshow8011]

Your a great reviewer , and you save people $$ by doing these reviews, because the infomercials try to hype up the product they sell, when they know it is junk, thank you for what you do

[@mookzmom]

You’re a rock star in my book. I love the look of flame bulbs, but don’t see them as very practical for use in my little world. I love the little tea light size ones, though, for decorative effect around holidays. Thank you, James!

[@-Dwight-Schrute]

Have to pick Hudson. Seems appropriate...

[@ZanesFacebook]

Yeah its probably the most realistic. But I don't think many people have a lot of experience using flame for light. Natural flame is really wild and inconsistent and the Hudson totally nails it

[@daemonember]

I agree with you. Hudson then Omicoo however the lumiere was trash

[@alexismichaela7110]

I would really like to see these reviewed with some sort of lamp shade. It really makes a difference in the way light is thrown, and (IMO) is a fairer review because most consumers would be using a shade.

[@unohav1]

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.

[@nancyware7282]

If I want a fireplace or a torch look, I would go with one of these. However, if I want to emulate a candle flame, then none of them, as a properly trimmed candle wick, and if the candle is not standing in a breeze, the flame does not flicker. That said, I would go with the Hudson. And withthat said, thank you for another great review!

[@justmike1800]

I have tried the Omicoo and one similar to the hudson that was available at my local hardware store. First off the camera doesn't show how great these look in person. 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.

[@ravenclanx]

This is what i love about this channel, James reviews products I never even hear about.

[@diversegardener392]

Thank you for the demos, I just bought one on line just don't know at the moment which I hope it's the 3rd one that's the one I liked.

[@squidfizzy]

I don't have any plans on ever getting a light bulb like that, but I sat here and watched an almost 10 minute video because I like watching your videos.

[@Telcomvic]

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. We have one of those electric fireplaces with the pretend flames and it reminds me of that, which I love.

[@MarkP]

I think the Hudson was the best. The one with 4 modes is a neat idea but if you have it plugged into a light fixture each time you turn in the switch it will be in a different mode. The bulb should have a dedicated mode switch so it will stay the same each time it's turned on.

[@chadcrigger3101]

Been looking at these and now have ordered the omicoo because of your review. Thank you so much for this review. I really trust your reviews.

[@jordanlamb3551]

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.

[@Mike-ky9jz]

I liked the Omico because the flame would actually separate at the top of the bulb at times...making the flame effect looking the most realistic...

[@auser2386]

Nice for decoration, but not for ordinary lighting. And it's good if it is placed in a place where the bulb is visible, so that we know that the light is from the bulb and not from a fire.

[@nylakelly7436]

I agree with your taste in flicker bulb... I like the first one

[@Pienimusta]

Upside down effect is actually quite cool. Have few of them hanging as lanterns on balcony.

[@terracethornhill]

Looking at how the light illuminates the bases of the lamps, I'd say the Hudson is the most pleasing. The other ones are a little too flickery for my taste.

[@LilJeff]

love these flame effect lights ..got mine but the brand is Hompavo

[@jaredross9]

I got two of the Hudson, they look great, the pattern is realistic, they don't mirror each other, but the color is off. It is a Halloween orange, several people on my block have actual gas lamps, and they are much more of a yellow with a slight bit of orange and blue.

[@NotAGolfer]

I used Hudson on my garages this year for Halloween and people loved them

[@matrixdefector4344]

If I was going to buy one, I would get the LumiereHolic. However, the Omicoo is the best of the four for its purpose.

[@J3rbski]

I like that you added the poll to make it more interactive with your audience.

[@egypshun03]

I have the omicoo for both my porch light and the light outside of my garage (exterior) and absolutely love them. My friends liked them too and ordered some for themselves

[@matthewblouin4267]

I just brought two more Christmas candle blow molds and I had to put the led flame bulbs in them and they are much brighter than the curly led bulbs.

[@shannonwylie9419]

I like the Hudson first and the rest same as you. That one that looks like a little fire is cute. Charming. Lol. I want one. Thanks for the great review.

[@normaevett]

I like the hudson. I'd rather not have the multiple options. If we put it in our porch light, we'd have to cycle thru to get the one we want. We saw adds for a Lumenare. That started our search. Thanks for you review.

[@peterplantec7911]

Yeah, the Hudson. Beat flame behavior, less flicker.

[@shannonwylie9419]

I forgot to ask. I have never seen these until now. What are they for? If it is just because they're awesome, I want one.

[@stephencass570]

They have colors now (blue, green, red, pink?). Can you do a review on them?

[@n.a.s.creations9805]

I think I like the Hudson the best as well. 2nd place is Lumiereholic

[@SunnyMoonProductions]

This is a helpful test but unfortunately the details in the flames don't come through in the video because the bulbs are over-exposed. This is because of contrast-ratio limitations in the camera. Filming with some ambient light in the room would fix this for what it's worth.

[@boldizsarboglari5701]

The lamp has 4 functions. Try turning it on and off quickly 1, 2, 3. Great review. Regards

[@dtgoodwin]

There was a very nice Fiet brand during the holidays at Home Depot. Was very much like the Husdon as near as I can tell. Same shape, same effect, and single mode, but with orientation correction.

[@shavinmccrotch9435]

I just wanted to mention, the white covers pop off easily. Depending on your particular shade, you may prefer it off. (Like in my hanging Victorian oil lamp that was converted to electricity) There are so many flame bulbs now. I have one that looks like the Hudson with 4 modes like the omecoo. I got lucky.

[@ブレイヴフェンサ]

Hudson and the Omicoo for sure for me it would be the omicoo because I like the four different settings plus the upside down mode

[@shiremaid]

I find the Hudson appears the most "flame like", but I love that "fade in/out" mode on the omnicoo. The other two just suck.

[@re-ridersuzanne]

Would be nice to show them outdoors and see how the look in a realistic setting. Are the meant for outside? I think that is the main purpose fr buying them. Good review but how will a few look on your garden path, patio, deck?

[@barbarajohnson1497]

I purchased LED flame bulbs to use for Halloween and you really need to see these bulbs from a distance to see if they have the desired look of a real flame. I put mine in my outside coach lights. Distance and what kind of glass they are flickering through (since yours are in a LAMP) really makes a huge difference. When purchasing these kind of bulbs you also have to sure have the right bulb BASE size as they can come in larger sizes than a normal lamp base. Some of the bulbs have lights that just constantly go up then down, repeat, and look stupid - not like a real flame.

[@bernarddenis9927]

I bought the brand flame effect bulb from amazon tmam, it works just fine. The wonderful flame with upside down feature is always burning upwards.

[@paulheckbert]

It would help if you could darken the exposure on your camera several stops so that the center of the "flame" is not overexposed. Perhaps if your background were white, not black, the autoexposure features of your camera wouldn't be brightening the video so much.

[@mookzmom]

Hey, thought I’d let y’all know that I looked in Amazon at the winner bulb just to see what it costs. I noticed that they offer a blue color flame bulb as well, which I think would be ultra-neat at Halloween time as a porch light. I went ahead and ordered a 2 pack of the blue flame ones!

[@红丝绒精]

I think this is not a complete video without including lamp shades. Without a lamp shade, the bulb may be too flickery for indoor use.

[@ZanesFacebook]

For real, I hate how these are just straight shots of the bulbs. Who has exposed light bulbs? I need to know how these are going to look with a secondary diffuser

[@MrCZLover]

I think even the best of these (whichever one you think that is) are much better if used behind a lampshade. Or with frosted glass if used in an outdoor fixture. Otherwise you can see the outline of the bulb which detracts from the flame effect.

[@lorenfitzgerald8783]

I have a couple that I use for the patio, I bought them through the catalog on Hawaiian airlines and really enjoy them. Lately I have tried to go solar wanting to use them in some special fixtures that I have purchased for my patio unfortunately unavailable except for sealed units.

Lumiere looks like the only one that wouldn't drive me absolutely crazy. Hard to tell with the video, but it doesn't look like it's trying to be almost a strobe light flickering like the others, more constant and "candle like" almost.

[@sklenotic]

What are the lamps themselves? they look really unique

[@Timzart7]

In the year that the first 60 watt LED light bulb appeared on Amazon for $80, I wanted LEDs for their energy efficiency. However, I was an early adopter of the compact fluorescent bulbs when they were over $20 each and so I knew to wait for prices to come down. Anyway, in those early LED years I bought a .3 watt flicker LED color-changing nightlight from Walgreens for about $6. It flickers and fades in and out and imparts a kind of life to the ambience in a room, especially at night. At that time, I thought, wouldn't it be great if they could make one of these to look like firelight? The reviewer is looking at these in terms of what looks the most flame-like, and that is definitely a consideration if you are using it in an outdoor lamp you want to look like a gaslight or candle. However, there's another use. Put behind something or in a corner not in direct view, how much does it look like real dancing firelight in a room? That is what I want, that cozy indirect firelight effect. And I just say "Hey Google, play fireplace sound" to my Google Home mini and there is a nice crackling fireplace that will play all night if you want. The sound transforms the light to something a lot better than light alone, which can look like faulty wiring. I am smoke sensitive. I can't have a wood stove, so these lights are the next best thing. So yesterday I received my first 2/$10 LED flame effect Ebay bulbs and they are just okay. They were advertised on Ebay as being made by Lumiereholic by the seller, but they are not as nice as the Lumiereholic bulb you show or the other videos of this brand bulb, so I'm disappointed. Instead, they are narrower, and small. For anyone who wants to see if they like the ambience of a flame effect bulb in their room before buying one, there are KZbin videos of fireplaces, some that last hours. Just put one on and turn the room lights off and relax. I captured some fireplace videos off KZbin, and they are nice to play but I don't want to play my TV or computer for hours at night just for that ambience. If you keep your room or house on the cold side during the winter to save energy, as I do, a flame effect bulb can even generate a warming placebo effect. Again, don't stare at it. It's not going to look like a real fire or have the beauty of a candle flame. But the flickering ambience is pretty close. I think mine flickers a little too fast, and might be a little more blinky than I'd like, but I'm not sure. I'll have to do some experiments with videos of fireplaces to compare. I'd like one where you could control the flicker rate and other parameters but haven't read of them making those. Anyway, if someone out there bought a flame effect bulb they love, and they're familiar with the ambience from firelight, I'd appreciate you telling me the brand/model. I am going to read more about the one the reviewer here liked.

[@ziggymadison3488]

Great video. I would have liked to see the bulbs in some sort of glass sconce though.

Just an FYI. I have had two of the Luminiereholic flame bulb for over 2 years now and I like the realism of the flame in it much better than the rest (which I also have used). All the rest have dot LED's in them which you can see if you get right up to it. The luminiereholic looks the best up close by far.

I usualy agree with you but this time I have to point out BEST FOR WHAT? If you wanted a low light path outdoors the dimmest would be best If you cared about modes your second would be first. IF by chance you don't want the bulb on and just like the look of the glass the one on the far right would win. On something like this I think it has to be pointed out what wins for each use.

[@bebopblue]

I bought one of these lights for about $3 at Walmart. The EZ-Illuminations LED Flame Bulb. It has the same effect as the 3 similar ones, no upside down mode. I got it for Halloween, though I found it in a Christmas isle. I wanted to use it for my porch light, and it looked great. Then right before Halloween my porch light wouldn’t turn on. For $3 I thought the bulb died. It’s still running in old fashion lamp perfectly themed for it. Oddly in Walmart’s clearance section I found the same bulb for $5.

[@ReddFoxx1562]

It may be valid to try these, especially the bell and howell one, while in a lampshade or with some kind of diffusion as many lightbulbs are not used naked. I will not be using any of these though, just due to utility

[@adamguymon7096]

With the smart bulb technology it would be nice to see these bulbs color changing and designed to be turned upside down. If you don't want to have the traditional candle flame color you could choose your favorite color. If you want a purple flame you could select that and the mood could be different vs the red or orange flame. If you could dim and brighten it or have it make different types of settings remotely or could be used with your smart home speaker device this would be a grate thing.
