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


Yep replaced the incandescent with an led lamp in our old Hotpoint.
Lasted at least 4 years and was still working when the FF failed for
other reasons. That was a standard ses golfball though if that has any
bearing.


I think the design of the lamp I linked to possibly better suits
'sideways' light emissions?

ISTR there was an opinion that it might be an issue with mechanical
fridge thermostats?


Ok?

And yes our new Samsung comes with a 3*led chip lamp. The light output
is utter crap though, you'd think they could engineer a better lamp -
given they make enough lcd backlights


You would eh. Sometimes they need to stick to what they know?
