Microwave Light Bulbs Under Hood 8206232a Whirlpool Microwave Light Bulb Appliance Bulb 125v 40w 4W E17 LED Bulb 400 Lumen 5000K Daylight CRI90, 2 Pack

A bit brighter than the OEM bulb, which is nice. But the nicest part is that it's LED and not giving off ridiculous amounts of heat like the old incandescent bulb was.Installing was the easy part (well mostly, I'll get to that). Tracking down the right bulb for the job was the hard part. Anybody else looking for OEM WPA3073101 let me save you the trouble. It's an E17 base. I could not find that ANYWHERE on the internet.Okay, now for the fun part (has nothing to do with this bulb, btw, more about the refrigerator's light socket). Getting the old bulb out was challenging, had to get one of the gripper things used to open jars to get any traction on the old bulb. Even then, I still felt like I was about to break the thing. When I went to install the new bulb, I twisted the normal feeling amount and tested. Nothing. Unscrewed, rescrewed a bunch, still nothing. I tried twisting even harder but it wasn't going anywhere. I noticed the OEM bulb had a tip that was slightly longer than the new one, so I went and soldered the tip to make it match the length. Still nothing. Getting frustrated and remembering the difficulty getting out the old one, I just kept twisting even harder in tiny increments and finally it made to a point where it caught a good groove and twisted right into place, and then there was light.Having replaced the burnt-out bulb, I started gearing up to do battle with the other (working) incandescent bulb. Only it twisted right out (still used grippers because it was hotter than the soldering iron), and the new LED bulb went right in without any resistance. I'll call it a draw.

There were no issues with installation. The light is bright enough for my needs while cooking (over the stove microwave) but not too bright if left on for light at night. I just installed it so I can't answer for longevity but I feel they were a good value for the price. I had trouble finding the right size locally and spent almost as much for a night light as I did for these so I am pleased with the value.

Pros- Bright light, much less heat since it is LED bulb. Pretty warm color tone looks natural.Cons- Does not dim on lower setting

The LED light balb fits well as under microwave light replacement. It replaces the original incadecent bulb. It provides strong white light. Using much less energy. It seems as good quality, but only time will tell.

Really good. Don't get hot. Can see what you're doing.

This is bright which is what I wanted to be able to see better (under microwave, above stove) however it’s a good thing it was a 2 pack because the first bulb died after only 3 months. Nowhere near 20,000 hours! The color is not warm, it’s white, wish it was warmer. But regardless, won’t buy again once the 2nd bulb dies.

These bulbs are great. I have them in my oven hood lights, they put out the perfect amount and color of light. Got tired of the incandescent bulbs burning out every 10 minutes.

I wish I would've read the reviews before buying these bulbs. As mentioned, they have three brightness settings but will not turn off. The bulb stays dimly lit.
