Great Vent Hood Ruined By Horrible Lighting
on March 24, 2018
Posted by: Oldoiler
from The Woodlands, Texas
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fantastic vent hood that was completely dropped in the design portion relative to the lighting. If you can't see what you are cooking, it doesn't really matter how well it exhausts, right?
Frigidaire used these proprietary bulbs that are simply horrible. They start to dim and fade from the day you turn them on. After two months, ours were so dim as to be basically unusable. Why would I want to go and buy these poorly designed, proprietary LED bulbs again only to have them go to the level of a single candle flame in another two months?
Comparing their light output to a single candle flame is actually an insult to the candle. With that said, I ended up retrofitting mine with different LED's. I can use two at a time, but not all of them as they will all start blinking. I'm sure this has to do with the proprietary bulb/system that come with this poorly designed light portion of the unit.
As it is, two LED bulbs from the retrofit put out 10X more light than all four of the original bulbs.
This hood is simply not worth the price at all considering the horrendous lighting drawback. I'm guessing that all of the 4 & 5 star reviews were made shortly after installing the hood and before the lighting problems started .
The cold white light is not pleasing in a kitchen either while trying to cook. The LED's that I have installed are a nice bright warm color. Much more conducive for cooking.
Unless you're just completely happy with having to change proprietary cold white bulbs out throughout the year, then I guess this is a good range vent hood for you. You can bet these bulbs will not be cheap.
I just can't believe that Frigidaire designed this hood without giving the owner the ability/option to put whatever type of LED bulb in that they desired instead of being forced to use a proprietary bulb.
Stay away from this vent hood.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
