Does it matter what kind of light bulb goes in a refrigerator?

And found on Ebay, fairly cheap. Search box "110v LED bulb"

A LED bulb would be perfect in a fridge actually...

They sell them in most supermarkets.

...... and a local building code that says they can only be changed by a licensed, union electrician.....

Interestingly, Home Depot didn't have the A15, but Ace Hardware did:

I was thinking maybe a flashlight with a magnet so it would stick on the fridge door or maybe a spot light on the counter aimed to shine into the fridge with one of the fancy remote controllers. Anyone can change a bulb but let's get creative.

or, maybe...

Just musing here....

Are you considering both the energy cost of lighting the bulb, *and* the energy cost of the heat the bulbs create inside the fridge?

It would seem to me the latter might have more impact.

Again, just musing.

They could give away incandescent bulbs and I still wouldn't use them.

Knowing that I'll never have to change the bulb again is enough for me to use an LED bulb.

Quite true. LEDs have no other redeeming values in this application, either. OTOH, LED lighting is quite nice when it's designed into the 'fridge.

Yeah, it's *SUCH* hard work!

Just considering the cost of the bulb versus energy saved when lit. A

It's more of an inconvenience than hard work. Idiot!

Oh, the *INCONVENIENCE*! I've probably replaced one bulb a year for the past five. It's *such* a burden.

How many BTU per hour does an open door use? ;-)

Yeah, until you have to replace it because the current limiting capacitor in the module failed....

LEDs are low voltage, incandescent are much higher , generally120 V

The modules to allow the 120 V to power the low voltage LED have a much much much higher failure rate than the LED....

You just gotta look at the whole picture...

Do you have an electric can opener or a manual one?

Do you have a garage door opener or do you raise the door manually?

Do you have a remote control for your tv or do you waddle up to the cable box to change channels?

And assuming you still have teeth, you use an electric toothbrush.

Lemme guess, you've got a riding lawn mower too. Idiot!

Actually, I don't have a clue. ...not that it's of any relevance.

Not installed. It's been in a box in the garage for a year.

You're projecting again.

Yep. Nope.

Yes, but I didn't until I had an acre and a half of grass.

Of curse *NONE* of this has anything to do with replacing a damned light bulb once a year or so. It does show what a damned fool you are, though.
