Default OT fire extinguishers?

Probably me, Doc. Before evacuating prior to a hurricane, a friend of mine
took some treasures - her 'good' jewelry, a lock of baby's hair and other
little things that could never be replaced and carefully wrapped and sacked
them. She put them in her freezer where no looter ( a real and ugly part of
hurricanes) would bother to pilfer.
When that freezer became really gross, nice neighbor emptied and tossed
the contents.
And FWIW, I ~do~ know the difference in a refrigerator and a freezer.
The freezer doesn't have a light inside. Do you know why? Polly


"Dr. Zachary Smith"
It is. I made a joke, and some folks read more into it than was
actually there.

OK Polly, Why doesn't a freezer have a light?

When I make one, I usually make a SWAG (Sophisticated Wild-Ass Guess).

Do you really think the looters don't know that? Think again.

Nice neighbor obviously wasn't a looter (or a picker).

Yes I do, but it's not universal. Fluorescent bulbs don't explode.

My freezer has a light inside - not a fluorescent either

See? Not universal.
My SWAG (see above) is:
1. It's a side-by-side
2. It's a freezer below
3. It's a special freezer bulb
4. It's a walk-in

and those could all be wrong, and likely will be in the future, but
like the song says...

Like Lizzie mine has a non-fluorescent bulb. The freezer is a big chest
type one. My freezer-below-the-fridge doesn't has a light tho.

Now 'normal' bulbs have been all but phased out in the UK I wonder what
it will be replaced with when it goes.

It's a chest freezer. The bulb is the same as a cooker bulb!

Same thing as a freezer bulb; they're often just called "appliance
bulbs" made to withstand the rigors.

What are the incandescent bulbs being phased out in favor of? Are you
on the same higher voltage as Europe?
