      There are no LED bulbs which are rated for oven use, the ones sold on Amazon et al should never be used in an oven. G9 bulbs are used in other electrical appliances such as hob hoods for which LEDs are fine.

      I’m guessing you don’t use your oven much since this would not have melted after years of use but from a single use at a high temperature.

    2. If it melts… it isn’t an oven bulb.

      If you bought it and it was labelled as an oven bulb, it’s straight up false. Oven bulbs are supposed to be rated for extremely high temperatures. The only thing that should break is the filament inside, not the casing.

      It should be made out of glass… not plastic.

      So either you have a plastic one, or somehow your oven can go so hot that it can melt glass… probably the former.

    3. Just because you put it in the oven, does not make it an oven bulb. I have yet to see any LED appliance bulbs due to the obvious reasons of heat.

    4. Years? I think you mean minutes of use. Small form COB LEDs of that size are still relatively new to the market.

      It’s from an over the range microwave oven. He left the first parts out. Had the same happen to me. Bulb has too many LEDs and overheats then melts. My bulbs made it 4 months or so. They are used inside a microwave oven and also for the light underneath the microwave to shine on the burners.

    6. “Years of use”?

      More like, “yeah the use” cases do not involve ovens.

      This looks more like it shut off shortly into its first use.

    7. LEDs are never supposed to run that hot, the company’s design them to purposely overdrive the LED such that they run hot and wear out faster such that the bulbs don’t last as long, it’s all part of the Phoebus cartel
