...is there anything special about them?
I recently replaced two 40W tubular bulbs (e.g.
However two months on and one bulb has already blown and the other is slightly blackened. The bulbs were Osram branded so one assumes it is not a quality issue.
I know one aspect of oven bulb design is that they are rated to
300degC however is this a requirement for cooker hood bulbs also? Presumably it is the vibration in a cooker hood that is the main threat? Are oven bulbs designed with more resilience to vibration also?Looking around it seems that 40W is the standard for cooker hoods however plenty of oven bulbs come in 25W so perhaps they're my best bet or did I just have a couple of dodgy bulbs?
