Questions: Why isn’t there an LED Light in My Fridge?
September 23, 2008 by Greg
I think I left my fridge slightly open last night. I woke up this morning to discover the mozzerella cheese I left on the top shelf a little translucent and a little gelatanous. After investing the rest of the items in the fridge, they all seemed relatively cooler than their top shelf counterparts. Playing with the door I began to realize how warm that light bulb gets. Why isn’t this an LED light? Less heat, less energy, practically infinite life…
I need an adapter that will let me screw in an LED light into a standard light bulb socket.

Though, I’m fairly certain these aren’t designed for this sort of thing.

CF is much cheaper……

CF is better for most household lighting than LED.
BUT they do make fridges with built-in LED lights instead of the bulb, that is if you have over 2000$ for a fridge, but they are really cool fridges….

I’d say the reason its not an led light is because the light is only on when its open which I’m sure is 1% of the total time, rendering the led vs. incandescent problem unimportant. Sorry just stating the obvious…
