| I'm looking for some advice on how to get a good looking artificial flame exterior light. Idea is they look like gas but.
Here is the idea, but this one breaks the bank:
I think these would work if they were normal bulb size:
Any ideas? Thanks! |

| The artificial flame bulbs put out minimal light. We used them in a 12- or 15-arm dining=chandelier in a former house -- very romantic, but you couldn't see to cut your steak by them. Strictly for atmosphere, not illumination! |

| The bulbs are just a slightly larger neon bulb and the discharge moves around on the large electrode. They are not a good source of illumination. Until mantles cam along to produce a hot surface, even gas lights did not produce much light. |

| Ok thanks guys, I think I will put my efforts elsewhere. =) |
