Okay but who puts bread in their fridge, what, do you live in a Soulsborne poison swamp level? It's bread.

It lasts a few days longer because I can’t finish 18 slices of bread in 4 days.

I do sometimes actually. I live alone and don't use a ton of bread, so keeping it in the fridge keeps it from molding quickly.
That's fair - I bake, but my family eats it almost faster than I can make it. Skews my perception of bread.
I see half loaves on the shelf sometimes these days, might be an idea
It does however cause it to go stale much faster. Better idea is to keep it in the freezer and take out a little bread as needed, then thawing out more as you eat.

I don't know how it is in other countries, but here in the UK we still have light sockets rated for the older incandescent bulbs that needed around 60W. But LEDs are much more efficient. Sometimes you see LED bulbs with absurd things like '5W = 60W' written on them, meaning that it actually uses 5W, but it's as bright as an old 60W bulb. You basically don't need to worry about the safety limit of the socket, since the LEDs are way under it. Of course since the socket is rated for 60W you could plug in a 60W LED, which would be as bright as an 720W incandescent bulb.
Which I suspect is what this person did to their poor fridge.
What's worse is having dimmable bulbs. A dimmer is required to have the maximum wattage of 120 W or so because there will always be some idiot who decides to put an incandescent bulb in and risks burning the house down.
We could have dimmers a tenth of their size if people stopped being idiots. Instead we need to deal with those massive 4x4x4cm boxes that can't be fitted into many walls.

With the right bulb, you can cook straight in your fridge!
I'm really hoping they're just going by what they see on the packaging at Walmart where lightbulb wattage is shown as an equivalent measurement for lumens and that it's not the actual power consumption. Fridge lightbulbs should not take as much power to run as an AC unit.
Reminds of when the host of Technology Connections said that he has an electric car that he charges at home and his favorite Christmas lights still double his bill
And if you take off the door you can triple duty it for a heater! Win win win
Go ahead and grab yourself a piping hot carrot from the refurnacerator
200W output power?
I didn't even know they still made bulbs over 10W.
You should check out some higher wattage ones, I’ve seen up to 300
Maybe it's because it's all LED in the EU now, we don't really do the old tungsten lining or halogen anymore.
That's because my parents bought out all the incandescent bulbs. Something about not making them them like they used to. There are none left.
When you buy a lightbulb (at least here in the UK) it almost always still has the incandescent-equivalent on it as well as the actual wattage.
People are still used to thinking in old terms that you want 100W for a ceiling lamp and 60W for a table lamp, for example.
So this light in the fridge could be 200W equivalent but not actually 200W consumption.
Thinking about it, lightbulb itself is at this point a ridiculously achronistic term, there's nothing really 'bulb' about them anymore.
how so? They're still bulb shaped most the time.
I mean, they are just small diodes inside, if they have a bulb shape it's just some plastic to have it be a familiar shape. I'd even argue most new light fixtures these days come in all sorts of shapes, and in my home, for example, I don't even have a bulb shape.
You're right to be fair, a lot of them do retain that shape for purely aesthetic reasons, but it's not a functional part of the light source any longer.

Not quite all : I don't think LED's can withstand the heat of an oven. Though I don't see the need for a 200W bulb in an oven. Maybe as the heating element in a toy easy-bake oven?
