Hi,

My friend has one of these American style fridge / freezers (Whirlpool) and
the lamp has gone. They are quoting about 16 quid to replace it. It is a 40w
250v ES27 lamp made by Sylvania and has the word "Appliance" printed on it.
I want to know if there is something special about these as there are other
lamps with the same specs for about a quid. Is there anything stopping her
using one of these ?

Thanks in advance,

Graham.

P.S the lamp is at the bottom of this page :

only that they like the cold better, but not 16 times as much go for a quid 
one and one for spare

Its nothing to do with the cold, they are rough duty lamps to cope with
shock and vibration.

I hate ripoff trades people but to be honest 16 for a visit and
something done, even a three minute job isn't bad!

On the other hand you will get a load of bulbs for 16, and if you
have to change one a quarter........?

16 is the cost of the lamp. Not for somebody to come out and do it :-)
