Review on GE Lighting 42142 Decorative Replacement by Kimberly Allen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The perfect compromise between color and brightness!

I bought some lights for my "candlesticks" and here they are the winners! I liked the ability to flicker a candle for other lights, but they were all disgustingly red! This one is perfect! I believe the wattage is 3w which is interesting as my 5w flickering bulbs were higher wattage and less light! The Kelvin rating is 2000 but looks a little higher. I have 3000,000 bulbs in other lights and my previous flickering flame was 1800 so I adjusted it closer to 2300,000. I wanted warm candlelight, which would be a good mood for the evening lighting, but still enough to sit and read a book. My husband thought it was perfect and flopped down on my office couch for a nap lol. I'm deducting a star as the bulbs turned out to have been treated quite rudely. They have scuffs and marks all over them so I don't expect them to last long.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
