I bought a set of 4 pieces. They are not as bright as an ordinary light bulb, but they are LEDs and their advantage is a decorated filament. Everyone was amazed by its uniqueness and beauty. Design lovers try it. Update: I ordered another set but noticed the lighter shades are different than the first. I will inform the seller. I was immediately sent another set without even returning the previous order. This seller is great! Genuine customer service is a huge bonus to the product.
