Flicker flame bulbs
Posted by underworld on Tuesday, January 16, 2007 8:16 PM

Is there such a thing as a low voltage flicker flame bulb??? Flicker flame bulbs are the ones that have two flame shaped plates inside the bulb and it flickers with an orange glow like a candle. Looking for something that could be run off of accesory transformer power.

Not sure if this helps, but they do sell LED flicker tea candles that are pretty cheap and run off batteries (but can be converted to run off a wall wart). Michaels Crafts sells them for a few bucks. I've found them at flea markets as well for $3 each if I remember. They use orange LEDs. They're perfect for campfires or gas lamps on the layout.

 

That link above looks interecting. I'll have to check it out.

DEPARTMENT 56 uses those bulbs in some of their buildings.  Perhaps you could try their replacement bulb list as a source.

Doug Those look great, but I couldn't tell if they are flicker bulbs or just flame shaped. I'll email them and check it out.

Bobby I've seen those. They would probably be a good next choice. There are also the LED welder and campfire simulators. they show both of them here.

fifedog I'll check them out. My friend's dad sell Dept 56 stuff at his store.

Thanks guys for all of the info!!!
