Having had a number of LED Xmas lights that flickered, and or clear ones that had a green tint to them I was wary on purchasing these. But so far they're good. Nice warm color, very similar to the traditional incandescent clear, no flicker and brightness similar to the old style. Different shape bulb of course, but brightness is about the same.Only problem so far is there is a very brief delay on turn on. Not enough to be a problem, probably no more than one second, but for a heart stopping second I feared they didn't work after I installed them. Then they came on and all was good.
