LED Microwave Light Bulb Over Stove Appliance Replacement 40W Incandescent for Refrigerator, Range Hood E17 Intermediate Base 3W 360lm dimmable Warmwhite 3000K Pack of 2

Excellent replacement for the original incandescent light bulbs under my 20-year-old GE microwave; these LED replacement bulbs should outlast my microwave; however, as a retired GE microwave repair technician, I may keep it running for a few more years if parts are still available. The brightness is fantastic! According to other reviewers, there is an unnoticeable flicker when switching to night light mode. Cool to the touch, which is a big plus because the heat from an incandescent bulb builds up in the bulb compartment, causing the socket and associated wiring to become brittle and fail over time. I'm convinced that if these had been available when I was doing service calls, it would have been a one-and-done situation. There would have been no need for replacements in the future. Always unplug your microwave oven from your cabinet or wall socket, is one tip I'll give anyone reading this review from a retired tech sitting on his buttocks right now. Don't just turn off the bulbs from the control board; the old incandescent bulbs become brittle with age and use, and as you try to unscrew the old bulbs from the socket, the glass of the bulb can detach from the base of the bulb, shorting out the control board's relay. Now you need not only a bulb, but also a replacement control board. It happened to me as well. On my part, I now have a new control board for the customer! I can't seem to stop typing, so you know I'm retired. For a few dollars more, it's an excellent replacement bulb.

Very high But not right now. If HIGH is 100%, then LOW is 97%. For the sake of economy and efficiency, I wanted to replace my incandescent bulb with an LED. These bulbs appeared to be a good option. However, I prefer the warm yellow light of the incandescent bulb with the true high and low setting where LOW is 50% as bright When used with dimmer switches or a HIGH/LOW switch, such as a microwave, most LEDs will flicker; the good news is that these bulbs will not. The HIGH setting is brighter than an incandescent bulb's HIGH setting, but the LOW setting is barely noticeable. Seriously, the brightness is reduced by a factor of five. 8% but it does come down. Another thing that bothers me is that the light is a bright blue, rather than the yellowish light that I prefer from an incandescent bulb. I only use the microwave light in the evenings, and I prefer lower light that is amber, yellow, or red because those colors help you sleep better. These are fine if you just want to save money on electricity and prefer a bulb that doesn't get too hot; however, the jury is still out on whether I'll keep the LED or reinstall the original incandescent bulb because I don't use that light very often and when I do, I frequently use the LOW setting, which this bulb doesn't have. It is HIGH or 3% LESS HIGH and that is it again. br>br>NOTE: THIS PAGE HAS BEEN UPDATED. Okay, after a couple nights of using this bulb for two to three hours each evening, I realized it was too much blue light, too bright, and there was no real LOW setting, so I decided I preferred the warmth of the dim yellow light provided by the incandescent bulb, which is the OEM bulb installed in my brand new Maytag Microwave. When I unscrewed the LED bulb from the microwave, I immediately noticed a hot spot that is a potential fire hazard. Although I'm no expert on the subject, I believe this is due to the lower quality aluminum used in the manufacturing of these bulbs on the bottom cap (screw part). The quality, strength, and conductivity of aluminum will all have an impact on how well it performs. This aluminum did not fare well, as evidenced by the photo. I'm so glad I was unhappy with the color of the light and decided to replace it with an incandescent bulb. The possibility of a fire has been eliminated. At least, according to this LED bulb.

We had new appliances installed, and the halogen bulb under the microwave wasn't bright enough to adequately light the stovetop. A halogen or incandescent bulb with a higher wattage would have been too hot. According to seller descriptions and customer reviews, nearly all of these appliance LEDs (dimmable or not) will not function properly on the lower of the two light settings. So far, this LED has performed admirably in all three modes (hi/lo/off), is the exact size match, and produces significantly more light (due to its cooler color temperature). I didn't need all four, but it was well worth the money to get the bulb I wanted - Now all I have to do is figure out what to do with the extras. Perhaps three more microwaves will be purchased.

The only issue, which isn't really a problem, is that it isn't quite as warm as the OEM bulb, but it still looks nice, and I'm very happy because this bulb uses far fewer watts. The microwave I have is a Whirlpool WMH53520CS- 7 were created in February of this year.

These LED lamps have caused so much consternation. My GE microwave was converted into a vented hood that could be used over the range. Mine vents outside, so it's possible that it's a higher-quality build. The incandescent lamps that were replaced were 40 watt incandescent lamps. They provided adequate task lighting, but they emitted too much heat, which warmed up the black cooktop. The new LED lamps produce excellent light levels, but their quality, as measured by color rendering, is vastly improved. People, daylight is never an appropriate color temperature for food preparation. That's why I chose the warm white color. The lights dim slightly for nite lighting, do not flicker in my unit, and best of all, use only 8 total watts rather than 80. Lighting is better when it is run cooler. They were neither the cheapest nor the most expensive LED lights for a seemingly simple application. The LED circuitry in your range hood is just as important as the dimming circuitry. On the lamp side, the manufacturing quality and circuitry have improved. As a result, be cautious in your purchases. These appear to work well with my GE range hood/microwave from the 2017/2018 model year.
