Miracle LED 605025 Refrigerator/Freezer Bulb, White

 (9 customer reviews)

I wanted to replace the heat-generating, energy-guzzling incandescent bulbs in my refrigerator and freezer with LED bulbs. I had learned (first through experience and then by research) that CFLs do not do well in refrigerators due to (1) temperature and (2) constantly being turned on and off, which dramatically shortens lifespan. I had difficulty finding appliance LED bulbs. Of the 3 I tried, these were by far the brightest. The light is cool (as indicated on the package) but given that it's just the inside of my fridge and freezer and not my living/working space, that's okay with me. As someone else indicated, the bulbs do not emit light 360 degrees. To deal with this issue, I took the suggestion of another LED bulb reviewer and added a folded-up piece of aluminum foil to the inside of the bulb compartment to reflect the light emitted from the bulb. It worked well, and for now, this is my go-to refrigerator/freezer bulb.

This bulb shines most of it's light straight out of it, not to the sides where most of my refrigerator light is needed. It is very bright maybe even 50W worth out the top of it, but not on the sides (maybe 5W equivalent). This light may be good for other applications but not in your fridge.

Easy screw in direct replacement for std bulbs. Intense blue white light takes a little getting used to. More directional than original incandescents, but of little in import in an all white interior. Runs much cooler so saves on the cooling as well. I recommend.
