I recently moved to New Orleans and wanted to put the Mardi Gras colors in my front window. I have colored light bulbs (electric), but I've only been able to find 1 while I'm still unpacking. So I got these since I only needed 2. They take FOREVER to fully charge. Once they're charged, they look great. BUT, one of them doesn't hold a charge well and generally, they only last a few hours before going dead and needing to be re-charged. Super disappointed. Unless you're okay with having the brightness be at the lowest setting (which I didn't try), I don't recommend these at all. Electric is better when it comes to lamp light bulbs.
