Default Fridge light upgrade.

The SES 15W incandescent lamp went (possibly for the second time) in
our fridge and I wondered if they did an LED replacement.

It seems they do and I picked one up from Homebase:

(It seems Cooker hood / Fridge lamps are the same thing).

I'd say that as long as it doesn't suffer from being / run at that
sort of temperature (fridge in this case) it doesn't seem to be
expensive for much more light, less heat (good in a fridge) and a
longer lifespan?

It is quite a bit longer than the lamp it replaced but the fitting
seemed to accommodate it easily. It wouldn't take a SES LED candle
lamp.

Assuming it lasts, I'd recommend it as a general upgrade option. Loads
more light with much less heat and hopefully, longer lasting?

OOI, do any fridges come with LED lights as std these days?

Mine requires the light to be left on continuously if the ambient
temperature falls below 5 degrees. There is a switch to do this. This
is to introduce heat to activate the compressor. An LED light would
be totally unsuitable as it would not provide enough heat.
