The Bulbs are acceptable, maybe a little better than expected for an electric simulated flame. Up close, they are a little Blinky, but from out at the street They appear fairly Realistic. My neighbors have made Good comments about the lights. They are a little too dim to see for walking out without turning on a different brighter light, but we have multiple outside lights switched at the front door, so the flame bulb works good for us. There is Not any Electric light that will Truly Replicate a Gas light, but This is close enough for the price.
