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 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.
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.
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
- Voltage & power – Confirm 12 V vs 220 V; choose 3/5/7 W based on target lux.
- Cutout & mounting – Outer size, cutout, screw distance, and depth clearance.
- Connector – Polarity for DC, terminal type for AC, cable length and strain relief.
- Thermal & environment – High‑temp plastics, anti‑oil design, moisture resistance.
- Optical quality – CCT binning tolerance, diffuser uniformity, optional CRI ≥90.
- Safety & labeling – Durable markings and documentation per market needs.
- 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)
- Remove the old lamp. Identify how it is fixed (snap‑in or screws) and disconnect the cable.
- Clean the mounting area to remove oil and dust; check insulation on wires.
- Place the new LED lamp, align with holes, and secure. For 12 V units, observe polarity (+/‑).
- Power on to test brightness and color, check that the light is stable with no visible flicker.
- 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.
