Just think of all that money your wasting on your electric bill monthly! All.... 12 cents of it...
Why would you put a light under your microwave? There's like 5mm of clearance under microwaves.
Yes but I've seen just as many sitting on counters.You've never seen a microwave mounted over the range?
You do realize they are talking about use within the MicroWave Oven, not adjacent (or under) it where there is plenty of shielding.
Although it is not wise for an appliance that heats food with a glass tube, but a fun way would be to have a microwave that instead of using a light, uses a tube with fluorescent gas or that the tube has a fluorescent coating that is not electrically powered. Just that the microwaves excites the electrons in the gas and the gas will emit light or the coating does. Would also be a great way to see when the microwave is active. Or that the inner side of the microwave has a coating that emits light when bombarded with microwaves.
He is talking about microwave that doubles as range exhaust. The light isbfor the range, not inside the microwave.

Just like I've seen ranges without microwaves on them.
If he's talking about lights under ranges, why didn't he say that?
It's highly convenient there and not taking up space elsewhere in the kitchen. Also the blowers make a huge difference in steam dispersal from cooking, even on the lowest fan setting. The output is way above my head (no I'm not sorry) and without it running all the stream from cooking IS going in my face.I think it was enough to be implied.
That being said: OP, why are you mounting a microwave over your range? You know those stupid blowers don't actually do anything, right? The smoke is hardly filtered by those dinky screens and is just blown back into your face and the kitchen.
Also, they are almost universally mounted far too low for the dinky fans to actually do their job.
