Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

Frozen light

Hmm, looking into this favourite FAQ put us on thin ice. You see, at first, we didn't have a igloo. Still, here it is without further ado.

We found that actually, some new freezers do have lights - so nice to not receive a frosty reception. These frost-free types are great but can cost a lot of lolly. Before they were around, ice build-up was a major problem. Getting a light bulb to continue working was difficult as often they would shatter. You see condensation would form due to the potential heat. Not particularly conducive to keeping meat.

Often the contacts between the bulb and the socket would get pushed apart due to water expanding when frozen. This typically negates the usefulness of a light bulb in a freezer. It's snow joke.

Wow!! Never thought of asking this question until I ran into this post. Interesting though, I felt like I just learned this from the discovery chanel :D
