Do these bulbs flicker? I am using them with a stone fireplace lamp and I want them to simulate a fire burning in the fireplace.

They do not flicker. Furthermore they are so white they would hardly be considered a simulation of a fire.

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

Unless you have some diming, or modulation feature to change the intensity of the light, they do not flicker on their own.

These probably would not perform any differently than a regular night light bulb. If on the other hand, you have a light controller in the fireplace that simulates the flickering by on/off cycles (of regular night light bulbs), then I would image they would work as they are instant on and off.

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.

I haven't had that happen to me. My regular bulbs would run so hot they were burning my covers. These bulbs can stay on for a while and the cover isn't even warm.

You have the option of choosing the "candle" which gives you a flicker like a candle. The "light" is just that, it doesn't flicker it's just on. Does that make sense?

The flickering is more candles light to dim...The lights are frosted and the colors are soft...even the dark ones so the lighting is not bright but enough to softly light a room....flicker gives candle effects....hope that helps

I used the bulb in a dimmable light and found that it works, but does not reduce the brightness much because it is not that bright to begin with. At full brightness it is still dimmer than a traditional 3 watt bulb. When dimmed, the flame effect does not flicker as much. It may not be worth dimming these bulbs, unless you are using these bulbs on a circuit with a dimmer already installed.

Yes they do flicker. They get a bit brighter then dimmer. It is very subtle. I love these.

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

They will turn them on and off, but dimming is not really an option. You do have to read the instructions and set the "local on level" to full on/full off, otherwise they will flicker.

I own five of them. They are in my kitchen. I have not noticed any flickering. Even when dimmed.

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

No flicker, the led light goes completely off. I've had mine for over a year - no problems.

Yes, the candle flickers. These are the most realistic candles I've ever seen.

They don't burn hot. They get hot like any other bulb sold out there. There isn't any torture on the wiring. I have had them for quite sometimes now. They've been great.

I haven't noticed any flicker. There's 2 settings, bright and slightly dimmer but definitely no flicker.

My experience: The bulb melted at the place where the glass joins the base. It sparked, smoked, and shot out flames. A fire hazard. They are very poorly made bulbs.

No, they do not flicker (at least at full power - I don't have any on dimmers yet).
