On the Whirlpool side by side in my new apartment, by the time the silly LED (or whatever they are) lights come up to useful brightness, I'm already on my way out with the milk. | ||

SxS has 3 bulbs in the freezer and 4 in the fridge, I found some LED bulbs that look like the original incandescent and are full brightness when you open the door but now when you stand there with the door open its not warming the fridge from the 4x40w bulbs..
Not put the LED in the freezer yet as I replace them when the bulbs go. Austin | ||

My 2011 Whirlpool top freezer.....
.....has just one BARE lightbulb on the ceiling of the refrigerator section.
No light in the freezer. This Whirlpool was NOT a "low-end" model either. Quite a "step down" from my 1987 GE top freezer that had two COVERED lights in the refrigerator section (none in freezer). I did put an LED bulb in the Whirlpool (which I showed in another post here) and it makes a world of difference in the brightness and quality of the light. | ||

I went through all my fridges and freezers a couple years ago, and replaced the incandescent bulbs with LED versions. I haven't noticed any reduced brightness.
I would imagine that mfgs are equipping their fridges and freezers with LED bulbs, so as to help with the estimated energy usage. I do have a couple of mini-fridges sitting around unused. I'll have to check and see what kind of bulbs they have. | ||
