Please can you improve the misleading description?
I'm looking for an LED replacement for fridge lamp but the descriptions are wrong. It's the true wattage we energy freaks are interested in. All your LED fridge lamps should at least have LED in the title so we can search them. Luckily a reviewer has stated that this one is 1W (Thank you!) but the product description lacks the word LED and gives the power rating as 25W! That is just the "Equivalent" power of a conventional lamp. The information is also crucial, because a faulty switch can result in the lamp staying on - a conventional 25W lamp can heat the fridge - and you won't know until it's too late. It happened to me: a small crack in the plastic liner of the fridge meant the switch wasn't de-activated when the door was shut, and it got quite warm in there and would not stop running! SO, there are FOUR potential advantages to changing to an LED lamp in your fridge: 1) Save a small amount of energy (in the brief time the fridge door is open) 2) Very long life of bulb (unless you are unlucky and get a dodgy one - it happens) 3) Runs cooler: in the event of switch malfunction, saves your provisions from heating up 4) In addition to 3, if a conventional bulb stays on and heats up the fridge, the fridge compressor tries to compensate by running all the time, consuming typically 100W! It won't happen with an LED. Perhaps you can run a feature on this basis - and sell a lot more LED lamps!!!
