Range Hood Light Bulbs

What Kind of Light Bulb Do I Need for My Range Hood?

Choosing the right light bulb for your range hood is essential for proper kitchen lighting and safety. Most range hoods use standard incandescent, halogen, or LED bulbs with specific wattage ratings. LED bulbs are increasingly popular due to their energy efficiency, long lifespan, and cooler operation.

Check your range hood manufacturer's specifications or user manual for recommended bulb types and wattage limits. Using incorrect bulbs may cause overheating or reduce the effectiveness of your hood lighting.

Common types of bulbs include halogen bulbs, LED modules, G10 lamp holders, and specialized cooker hood downlights. Depending on your hood model, you may find bulbs labeled for brands like Broan, Whirlpool, Thermador, or Zephyr.
