I don't think you can put an LED bulb in an oven, well I mean I guess you could try but good luck with that, I don't imagine it would last very long at all.

You can put an LED bulb in a fridge though, I put LEDs in mine. I don't really need to worry that much about my oven though because it's a small oven and doesn't have a light in there to begin with.

I mean why would you force LEDs for ovens in the first place. The place they are in is supposed to get hot. And that's what the ineffeciency in incandescent light bulbs normally is. They get hot. Doesn't seam like an issue that they make the place that's supposed to get hot hot.
