LED lamps
I was shopping on Amazon and E-Bay for some G9 LEDs.
Reading the reviews and I was shocked and amused that someone had posted a review slating the supplier as the bulb had melted in their oven! |

I didn't know there were G9 bulbs of any sort for ovens? All the bulbs I;ve bought for ovens over the years have been SES fittings.... Was this for a gas, electric convection or microwave oven? |

As far as I know that fitting relies a lot on plastic mouldings so I'd guess
it was not in fact that style of bulb at all. The one in my microwave is an as type of conventional filament design I think. Brian -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from...

I suppose one *could* fit an LED variant if one was sufficently inclined to do so. Doubt it would end well  |
