Hizashi S14 Replacement Light Bulbs, 2W=25 Watt Outdoor Edison Bulbs Dimmable E26 Base, Amber 2200K S14 LED Bulbs, Outdoor String Lights Bulbs Replacement, Shatterproof Waterproof, UL Listed, 6 Pack

So I had bought some led bulbs that were supposed to be at 2700 Kelvin but were closer to 5000 Kelvin so I saw these and it said temperature wise 2200 Kelvin with an amber glaze on the bulb. At 1/4 of the wattage they are the perfect color and look to imitate the look or feel of an old school Edison bulb. I highly recommend using a dimmer on them to get the right look and feel.

My old incandescent bulbs for my backyard string lights used to draw a LOT of energy (75 bulbs at 11 watts each = 825 watts = about 7 amps). To put that in perspective, it's more than a 750w space heater! I used a dimmer switch so I can adjust the brightness and set a mood for the evening. The dimmer would get VERY warm.After I replaced them with these Hizashi bulbs the energy usage was GREATLY diminished (<1 watt per bulb = approx. 60 watts = 1/2 amp) without any brightness difference or change in color temperature from my old incandescent bulbs. (SEE: closeup picture of one of the incandescent bulbs with the new LEDs in the background) I actually believe that I get a slightly brighter light from the LED bulbs.The dimmer doesn't even get slightly warm anymore and these have a great range of dimming (10%-100%) without changing the color temperature or developing a flicker.I've used them for around 4 years with only three "burning out" (one leaked with water inside, but still worked for many weeks before it died). Of course, they are made of glass and can break if the string falls to the ground. I've had this happen several times because of a tree branch fell on it.CONCLUSION: These are very good bulbs, long lasting, very well made, nice warm "incandescent" color temperature, dimmable, with amber colored glass that looks nice when lights are off, and have an 'old fashioned' shape... I highly recommend these.

So these light bulbs throw me through a loop. I just received these last night (they were delivered super fast), and I got to replacing the burnt out bulbs in my room. For some context, I have a 48-bulb string light hanging up in my bedroom, and the ambiance is super cozy! So anyway, the lights are in an enclosed area, and so the spread and color of the lights is very noticeable. From what I've seen so far, these bulbs match my incandescents perfectly. Where the loop part comes in, is how the bulbs cast their light. The incandescent bulbs are varied and their light is more caustic than full, and the LEDs cast a consistent solid glow from their origin. Seeing these bulbs side-by-side is kinda bizarre.For the quality, sure as heck these are good quality bulbs. I question the need for a Glass encasing, as these will not produce much heat. When you have hanging lights, and nature + time can make a mess of things, it's nice to have the peace of mind of shatterproof plastics. Just my opinion, though, so if you're looking for that more traditional feel, these bulbs will do it for you. Also good to note, is that the glass truly is tinted a nice amber, but I question it's efficacy in casting a warmer light. Which, actually, leads into my next point.These light bulbs, being LED and needing less power, operate at full-blast when plugged in. If you're going for a more cozy atmosphere, then you'll absolutely want to get a Dimmer. Luckily there are ones that act as bridges between the wall and the plug, so you wouldn't have to bust open your wall to rewire a new switch. But with a full strand of these bulbs in an enclosed space, without a dimmer, is a bit intense. Consistent, but intense. One last note about these bulbs to consider: If you're big on recording video, these may or may not give you that frequency issue you normally see in fluorescent lighting tubes. They oscillate at a 60Hrz frequency, and depending on how your camera is timed, might pick up the oscillation. You can actually notice it with the human eye, if you turn your head with the bulb in your peripheral vision, you can see the skip. Nothing major, and certainly nothing to knock a star off for.Overall, 10/10, would buy again. Cheers folks!

Purchased these to replace some Harbor Freight light strands I purchased a while back, it came with traditional glass covered filament bulb that sucked power. 300 Watts with the old 25w Bulbs vs 24ish Watts with these new bulbs. They looked all but identical, but the Edison style is very cool.They are durable, the old bulbs were paper thin and would shatter if you so much as breathed on them. After I had to put the Dog up and clean broken razor sharp glass several times ALL ON ONE TRIP... I just put the lights back up. These replacement bulbs have a plastic bulb that I tapped with a tire iron just to test out, no issue. They probably won't be shatterproof, but a little tap of 2 bulbs together in a gust of wind won't shatter them either.I though they were a little pricey, but they are very cool looking and I have a ton of spares if I decide to get a second light strand.

Good low power bulbs will not be too bright at 100%. They are good looking Edison style, but be careful about what dimmer to use with them. Some older smart LED dimmers and older dumb LED dimmers will not turn them off completely since there is not enough current draw on them. Those instances and capacitance in the wiring can cause glow like a night light. Maybe that'll be a good feature for you. Perfect operation on old slide dimmers from lutron and leviton. Good with the caseta dimmer, and night light effect on feit smart dimmer. Used with one chandelier on the circuit and twelve bulbs.
