Bulbs are good, nice blue tint. They do some effects and they don't look bad. But their depiction does not resemble the images of "dancing flames" at all. I bought four and they all look the same, so that doesn't mean I got a bad one. I will still use them. The display isn't bad, just not what was expected. They work really cool and use very little power which is why I use two in my theater 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I've never turned them upside down to see if the pattern reverses, so I can't comment on that. I can buy more but in a different color they will look cool hanging on a rope on the porch.
