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.

Oooerr.

This
is to introduce heat to activate the compressor. An LED light would
be totally unsuitable as it would not provide enough heat.

I wonder how many fridges have / do that?

Not mine, but here is an example:
https://home.liebherr.com/en/gbr/ser...-light-1-start
'The interior light of the refrigerator is lit (with half strength)
even when the door is closed.
Possible solution: Some pre LED models use the interior light bulb in
low ambient temperatures where the freezing capacity can be
insufficient in the freezer compartment. The interior light is
controlled through the electronic control system or by activating the
CoolPlus switch which runs the light at half strength. This ensures
operation of the freezer compartment at the correct temperature.'

If yours works in this way then maybe you cannot use an LED bulb.
