Review on 🌟 Revolutionize Your Refrigerator Lighting with Microwave Replacement Incandescent Refrigerator Intermediate Bulbs by Lori Lopez

UPDATE: FIRE HAZARD. high and low? Not so fast When HIGH = 100%, LOW = 97%

I was keen to switch my incandescent bulb to LED for the sake of economy and efficiency. These lamps seemed like a good choice. I prefer the warm yellow glow of an incandescent bulb on very high and low settings where LOW is about 50% brighter than HIGH. Most LEDs will blink when used with dimmer switches or some type of HIGH/LOW switch like a microwave oven. The advantage of these lamps is that they do not flicker. The HIGH setting is brighter than the HIGH setting with an incandescent bulb, but the LOW setting is the ONLY NOTICEABLE. Seriously, the brightness drops a whopping 5-8%, but it drops. Another thing I don't like is the color of daylight blue light as opposed to the yellowish incandescent light which I prefer. I only use the microwave lamp in the evening and prefer subdued lights like amber, yellow or red because these colors improve sleep quality. If you just want to save on consumption and prefer a bulb that doesn't get as hot, that's fine. The decision on whether to keep the built-in LED or go back to the original incandescent bulb is yet to be decided because I don't really use this light very often and when I do I often use the LOW setting which you really don't find in this lamp to have . Again, it's HIGH or 3% LESS HIGH and that's it. UPDATE: Okay a few nights of using this lamp for two to three hours each night and I realized it was too much blue light, too bright and with no real LOW setting and I thought I need the warmth of the faint yellow light provided by the bulb which is the original bulb installed in my new Maytag microwave oven. When I unscrewed the LED bulb from the microwave, I immediately noticed a hot spot that could be a fire hazard. The bulb has been on for three months now and shows no signs of overheating as can be seen in the photos. While I'm not an expert on the subject, this is probably the result of using inferior aluminum on the bottom cap (screw part) in the manufacture of these lamps. There are varying degrees of quality, strength and conductivity that affect aluminum performance. Judging by the photo, this aluminum has not proven itself very well. I'm so glad I was unhappy with the color of the light and decided to put the bulb back in. The risk of fire is at least averted with this LED lamp.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Other
