What voltage of bulbs do you have in your range hood?
Comments (11)Thanks for 'figuring out' what I meant. I have so many details swimming around in my head about this house remodel that sometimes I think I'm brain dead! :-) Of course I meant wattage, not voltage. I wonder if I should re-post the question. The 2 hoods I'm looking at have the following lighting. 2- 40 watt incandescent bulbs in the front (reviewers said the light was quite good, but I was skeptical because they aren't halogens). 2- 20 watt halogen bulbs in the front (someone also mentioned about this lighting being good) Our ceilings are only 8 feet high, so the hood will probably be 28-30" above the cooktop. captsmethwick.....do you like your Broan hood? Do you have the model # by any chance? I was just wondering how quiet it is on the lower settings. I don't mind if it's loud on the highest setting because I don't plan to use that for long periods of time. But one of our options is Broan, so I just wondered. Thank you both for your answers!...See MoreTrying to compare two range hood light bulbs ...

Comments (7)I found this on line.... Bulb replacement is accomplished by prying the lamp out with a sharp instrument. Take caution that the glass does not fall out and break. Do not remove the entire fixture, as this is very difficult to re-install. Bulbs are available from the hood fan supplier or direct from Sirius. If in doubt call customer service and support for assistance � toll free 866 528-4987 It sounds like it might be pretty hard to do, without breaking it....See MoreTrying to compare two range hood light bulbs ...
Comments (8)...it is very difficult to compare these units of measurement in a meaningful way... It's essentially impossible to compare those two units in a meaningful way. If you were talking about the water coming out of a hose, it would be like trying to compare gallons to PSI. There's no direct relationship between the amount of light generated by a bulb (lumens) and the intensity of that light (candlepower) coming off of the same bulb in a particular direction. You could have a light source that produces very few lumens but concentrates them into a high-candlepower beam (like a cheap laser pointer) or a source that provides very little candlepower but a staggering number of lumens (like the moon). When you say the hood came with "spot" bulbs, can you be more specific about the type of bulb? Do they even have medium bases on them (a "medium base" is the common screw-in base seen on everyday 'light-bulb' shaped light bulbs.)?...See Morekaseki
