A while back, I put compact fluorescent lights in my refridgerator.
No, not that my fridge light is on all the time wasting electricity. Rather, incandescents make a lot of heat, which is what we want to get rid of in a fridge.
Well, the CFLs didn't work out too well in the fridge. They were a cheap brand, and fluorescents generally don't like the cold.
When I stopped at the hardware store today, they had their "dollar values" bins in the middle of the store. This is usually cheap, made in China, imported junk, but at good prices.
I looked through there and saw LED light bulbs for $5 each. Not battery operated or cheap flashlights, actually household current Edison base light bulbs.
They are only 1.5 watt, which is NOT a lot of light, but they were a small size, I thought might work well as appliance bulbs.
Tried one out, looks great in the fridge and doesn't make any heat!
It does say on the box "not for use in humid enviroment" and "not suitable below -43 F"
I will let you all know if it dies anytime soon, otherwise seems like a great little light just where it's needed!
