'03 MB Range Hood 912 Light Replacement?
Yahoo Message Number: 145487
LED's are advancing rapidly and I want to upgrade my range hood light to LED and I'm looking for more/brighter light than the out put of the original 912 T5, and I would like to stay with a warm white. What's the best way to go.
Thanks, Paul

 I have never found a much brighter bulb that fits the hood's light fixture. Instead, they have been replaced with 12-volt, under-counter pucks lights. Originally, I used 10-watt halogen bulbs, now a 2 or 3-watt LED.

Below is an example of a 12-volt, 3-watt LED puck light.. You would want the warm white version, http://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/recessed-and-puck-lights/led-product/1114/ The web is full of possibilities.
