They are of lower intensity and the more of them you have, the brighter they get. I believe they were largely meant to be decorative and ultimately to supplement lighting that came from separate decorative wall sconces.

The lights work but they do not stand up straight in the base some wobble and fall sideways. I have problems with the lights intermittently blinking, even when not dimmed. No flicker w/ filament bulbs.

They have good brightness and color. They are bright and haven't dimmed since i installed them. It is brighter and my electric bill is lower.

Buy these lights. Well packaged. My only complaint with my recent purchase is the packaging.

Three of the six bulbs flicker after they are on for about 20 minutes so half of them are defective. They are rated at 20,000 hours. Two bulbs were burned out within 18 months. Total usage not even close to 2,000 years before bulb failed.
