Range Hood LED Lighting Explained: Sizes, Voltages, and Compliance

 

Factory Direct High Lumen Zero Flicker A‑Grade Efficiency

Ultimate Guide to Range Hood LED Lights

Brighter cooking light, lower energy bills, safer kitchens — and how to choose the right model for your hood.

EDEG rectangle LED light for range hoods with metal bezel and diffused window

EDEG manufactures purpose‑built LED lights for range hoods and commercial canopies. With 20+ years in the category, in‑house metal stamping and plastic tooling, and ISO 9001 quality systems, we deliver fast sampling, stable mass production, and reliable after‑sales.

Energy saving vs halogen: ≈60–85% Typical lumen package: ≈250–600 lm Voltages: DC 12V / AC 220V Common sizes: 120×33mm, 170×23mm CCT: 3000K / 4000K / 6000K

1) Why upgrade to LED?

  • Higher brightness at lower power – LEDs achieve similar or greater illuminance with significantly less wattage than halogen, reducing heat near filters and electronics.
  • Zero‑flicker driver options – Comfortable task lighting for reading recipes and blade work; video shooting looks stable on camera.
  • Long service life – Purpose‑selected high‑temp materials and optics for oil‑vapor environments minimize failures and downtime.
  • Safer operation – Flame‑retardant housings, secure mounting, and robust electrical design reduce risk in harsh kitchen conditions.
Tip: When replacing halogen, match the perceived brightness (lux on cooktop), not just watts. A 3–7 W LED module usually surpasses a 20 W halogen capsule for task lighting.

2) Models & Typical Specifications

EDEG supports multiple form factors to fit different hood designs. Below are representative specs; we can tailor each parameter to your project.

Common Sizes

  • Rectangle: 120×33 mm (universal retrofit)
  • Rectangle: 170×23 mm (slim bezel, wide window)

Electrical

  • Input: DC 12 V or AC 220 V (single‑voltage or compatible option)
  • Power: 3 W / 5 W / 7 W typical
  • Driver: integrated or external, low ripple for comfortable viewing

Optical

  • Lumen output: ≈250–600 lm depending on power and diffuser
  • CCT: 3000K / 4000K / 6000K; other CCTs on request
  • CRI: ≥80 standard, ≥90 optional for premium models
  • Beam: wide distribution for uniform cooktop lighting

Materials & Finish

  • Window: tempered glass or optical PC
  • Frame: brushed metal or high‑temp engineering plastics
  • Environmental protection: resistant to heat, oil, vibration and moisture

3) Engineer / Buyer Checklist

  1. Voltage & power – Confirm 12 V vs 220 V; choose 3/5/7 W based on target lux.
  2. Cutout & mounting – Outer size, cutout, screw distance, and depth clearance.
  3. Connector – Polarity for DC, terminal type for AC, cable length and strain relief.
  4. Thermal & environment – High‑temp plastics, anti‑oil design, moisture resistance.
  5. Optical quality – CCT binning tolerance, diffuser uniformity, optional CRI ≥90.
  6. Safety & labeling – Durable markings and documentation per market needs.
  7. Branding – Bezel color, logo printing/etching, retail or service packaging.

4) Compatibility & Replacement

For one‑to‑one replacements, please provide the drawing or a photo with dimensions, and note the fixing method (snap‑fit or screws). We will match the window size and hole pattern to avoid interference.

  • Match the input voltage first, then connector type and polarity.
  • Verify the thickness and any protuberances to ensure the lamp clears the inner shell.
  • Choose a CCT that fits your market: 3000K for warm ambience, 4000K neutral, 6000K crisp white.

5) Installation Steps (DIY or Service)

Safety first: Switch off mains power and wait for capacitors to discharge before touching any wiring.
  1. Remove the old lamp. Identify how it is fixed (snap‑in or screws) and disconnect the cable.
  2. Clean the mounting area to remove oil and dust; check insulation on wires.
  3. Place the new LED lamp, align with holes, and secure. For 12 V units, observe polarity (+/‑).
  4. Power on to test brightness and color, check that the light is stable with no visible flicker.
  5. Re‑tighten screws and confirm that the lamp sits flush and does not vibrate.

Tools: Phillips screwdriver, cloth, mild cleaner; multimeter if needed.

6) Safety, Materials & Compliance

  • Flame‑retardant housings and durable labeling designed for kitchen cleaning routines.
  • High‑temperature components and robust mechanical structure for oil‑vapor environments.
  • We can build and test to the requirements of your market standards upon request.

7) Optical Quality & Reliability

  • Consistent CCT and lumen output across batches with LED binning control.
  • Optional high CRI for more natural food colors on the cooktop.
  • Low‑ripple driver options for comfortable visual experience.
  • Incoming material checks, in‑process inspections, and functional testing before shipment.

8) OEM/ODM Capabilities

As a specialist factory, EDEG offers rapid prototyping and stable mass production:

  • In‑house metal stamping and plastic tooling
  • Custom sizes, windows, bezels, cable lengths, connectors, and branding
  • Flexible MOQ and packaging (service parts, retail boxes, or bulk)
  • Lead time: samples typically 3–7 days; mass production schedules depend on BOM and capacity
  • Warranty: typically 12–24 months, adjustable by project

9) Use Cases & Packaging

  • Appliance manufacturers – New builds and model refresh programs.
  • After‑sales & service networks – Universal retrofit SKUs with clear labeling.
  • Distributors & e‑commerce – Consistent quality, stable supply, documentation support.

Packaging options include anti‑scratch individual bags, barcode stickers, and retail cartons with multi‑language instructions.

10) Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can the lamp work with touch switches or dimming?

Yes. We support multiple switch types and dimming options when specified during ordering.

Q2: Will 3 W be bright enough to replace a 20 W halogen?

In most cases, yes. Because of optical efficiency and beam design, a 3–5 W LED module can deliver comparable or higher task illuminance.

Q3: What information do you need to match my hood?

Provide the outer size, window size, mounting hole distance, voltage, connector type, target CCT, and photos or drawings if possible.

Q4: How fast can I get samples?

Typical sample lead time is 3–7 days after confirming specs.

Q5: Do you support international logistics?

Yes. We can work with your forwarder or arrange shipment with the required documents.

Q6: What about certification and testing?

We can prepare testing and documents aligned with your market requirements. Share your target standards and we will propose a plan.
