Anyone know of a LED G9 bulb suitable for use in a oven?

[eveares]

My oven take 2 x 25w G9 bulbs and was wondering if their is any energy saving bulbs that I can use to replace the halogen ones in my oven?

I guess a standard G9 LED won't stand the high temps (230C oven plus bulb below grill element) in the oven, but is their any energy efficient alternative?

I don't know - but unless someone has found a way to manufacture something specifically for such a purpose (sounds expensive!), I really can't see any LED lamp, or any sort of energy-saving lamp (which will contain electronics) being able to cope with oven/grill temperatures.

Given that the lights will presumably only be on when the oven or grill is on, doesn't that 50W fade into insignificance in comparison with the element load?

Kind Regards, John

Leave one of the bulbs out - or both - or

wire in a switch so you can switch them off when you're not looking.

It's a modern touchpad type oven, so I can easily turn the lights off EFLI. Just wonderd if thier were any LED/CFL bulbs that can withstand the high tempretures in ovens.

I wanted to improve the lumen per watt ratio of my ovens light source but not really that important, plus John has a fair point about the ovens overall power consumption.

It all started when I had a moment of wondering why ovens these days don't come with some sort of special built-in LED light source and so I wondered if I could retrofit such a bulb.

I do not believe oven LED lamp exist and cannot see any outstanding benefits of having them.

As has been said, I very much doubt whether such lamps/bulbs exist. It would be a hassle as a retrofit, but if you were a manufacturer wanting to do something like this, I suppose you could have an LED light source external to the 'very hot' parts of the oven, with a fibre-optic transfer of light to the oven cavity.

Kind Regards, John

Why would you want a bulb giving light only? You want the heat so the heat from the quartz halogen bulb is not waisted but is assisting in the cooking of the food so there is no unused energy to save.
