Review on πŸ’‘ Enhancing Illumination: Philips 416099 Candelabra Indicator - 12 Volt Brilliance! by Tonya Zayas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good bulbs 12V (not 120V) Check before you buy!

I bought these bulbs to replace the bulb in the in-door ice/water dispenser on my GE fridge. It's been five months and it's still working great. The price is a bit high but I'm glad I found them as 12 volt bulbs seem hard to come by - local hardware stores don't stock them (120 volt bulbs were easy to find). I noticed that there were some reviews where reviewers said the bulbs burned out right away. Those are 12V bulbs! Not 120V! They have the same base as 120V incandescent bulbs, but they will burn out immediately if your fridge requires 120V incandescent bulbs. So be sure to check the voltage listed on the base of the original bulb you are replacing or seeing Consult your owner's manual to find out if you need 12V or 120V bulbs.

Pros
  • High test scores for hold and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as others
