Eric, does that really make sense though? The light bulb in your fridge is off most of the time; the heat it gives off is probably negligible compared to the heat lost by opening the door. Additionally, LED bulbs are expensive enough that you will likely never recoup the cost over the life of the fridge. It's really easy these days with all the "green" solutions to be penny wise and pound foolish.

* Replace the light bulb in the Fridge with an LED bulb. You may have to shop around for one that gives off enough light and will fit but it is worth it. An incandescent bulb gives off a tremendous amount of heat (in the Fridge? Not good). With an LED 3-5 Watts should suffice, virtually no heat. Save electricity and save cooling the bulb.
