How To Change The Color of LED Lighting Using Gels - Frigidaire Gallery FGMV176NTF
In this video I change the color temperature of under-cabinet, LED lights of a Frigidaire Gallery microwave (model FGMV176NTF) using a CTO (change to orange) photography gel. The color temperature of the LEDs is daylight/super bright white (4000-4500K) which doesn't match the warm yellow halogen lighting (2800k) of the rest of the kitchen. A cheap and simple life hack!

Just knowing there are good people out there doing very niche videos on my specific problems with cold LED lighting makes this world feel more like home. Thank you so much!

You’re Very welcome! And while she didn’t say it, I could tell by the look on my other half’s face that I’d need to find a solution to change the color temperature of the LEDs or return the microwave. 😃

We just got a Frigidaire Gallery Range and above the range microwave last week. I could not believe the ugly lighting that the microwave provided over our cooktop. Cold and blue. We added the orange photo gel as you suggested and it helped immensely! It does seem like it dimmed our light somewhat, but I can live with that. Thank you for the tip!

Glad it was helpful. We recently purchased a Frigidaire gallery cooktop and oven and just had them installed. How do you like the range?

You are a godsend! I considered putting some packing tape over it and coloring it with a yellow or orange marker.

Thank you for this great video! My new microwave in my new kitchen was just connected and I was so dismayed by the color of the integrated LEDs vs the 2700k under-cabinet light strips I insisted upon. I have used amber automotive Lens Repair tape (a 3M product) for other applications as well. Photo gels are a great idea.

I never though about lens repair tape… I bet it’s cheaper than gels. Great idea!

This is great. I just got a Bosch 500 series microwave and it uses the same 5304499540 LED assembly. I absolutely hate it, and was trying to see if there was a replacement LED that was closer to 2800k. I will definitely give this a try.

Worked for us! It's not a perfect solution, but better than cold, blue-ish white... and a less expensive option to purchasing a replacement LED assembly. 😀

@BalanR Absolutely better than how it is. But even if I didn’t care about the cost I was unable to locate a replacement in my limited search. Did you locate one?

When we first got the microwave, I searched as you did, but didn’t find anything other than the replacement part. I honestly haven’t looked since.

Going to try this with my LG over the range microwave. Don't like the blue white light from it at all. Way too harsh. Hope the gel works for ours.

Just curious to see the LED gel filter has stood up over time? We just had a GE Cafe microwave installed and it's surface light is a very blue/white led and the rest of my house is warm led. I purchased some Lee CTO filters and plan on giving this a try. Thanks for sharing :)
@BruceAlanR

Hi K - thanks for the comment. The gels are still working great and should last a long time. Just know that if your surface light is very blue, adding only a CTO gel, may cause a hint of green. It will definitely be warmer, but won’t exactly match your other lighting.

Sorry. Amazon no longer carries the ones I got, but just go with the cheapest option. You can always layer them.

4000-4500k is a beautiful pleasant neutral white. I could live under that in my entire environment. That temperature of LEDs are uncommon and usually more expensive when found. The two temps for sale I see everywhere are the warm amberish 2800-3200k & the extreme 6000-6500k eye fatiguing bluish-white. I came here looking for a way to filter down a 6000k to neutral. The white LED color in the video appears to be at least 5500k or higher. Probably camera distortion. A translucent plastic film with the right tint seems to make effect or even better bouncing the LED light off a tinted white surface might do it and diffuse the reflective glare that LEDs give off.

Thanks for the info. The camera’s is absolutely presenting distortion. The halogen under-cabinet lights are 2800k-3000k. Surrounding paint colors also impact how light reflects as you know. Color temperature is a funny thing and everyone will likely have a preference. For example, some folks like the bluish-white 6000-6500k in their garages and workshops. Personally, I prefer 4000k in the workshop and laundry room, but it would be too bright for us anywhere else in the house. Please share back any tips you think others may find helpful.

Is there a paint on gel version of this?
@BruceAlanR
@BruceAlanR 10 күн бұрын
I haven’t explored that, but it’s a good idea. It would need to be a product that can a lot of heat if there’s a cooktop underneath. You’d also want something that wouldn’t expose you to harmful vapors when heated.
