I believe many people have this question: why is there a light in the refrigerator but no light in the freezer?

 

Economic cost

 

From an economic point of view, the cost of installing a light that will automatically light up when the door is opened is almost the same in both the freezer and the refrigerator. And it doesn't change with the number of times you open and close the refrigerator door, which is what economists call "fixed cost".

 

For example, if the cost price of installing a lamp in the refrigerator is the same as that of installing a lamp in the freezer, it is 10 yuan. Then the refrigerator with lights installed in the refrigerator and freezer must be more expensive than the refrigerator with lights installed only in the refrigerator.

 

However, it is impossible to decide whether to install a lamp in the freezer based on the economic cost of installing a lamp alone. The separate design of the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber of the refrigerator serves people, so we should also consider the user's use frequency of the two things.

 

The function difference between refrigerators and freezers

 

Let's first understand the difference between the functions of refrigerators and freezers. At present, most refrigerators in the market are divided into two layers - the upper refrigerators and the lower freezers, and their functions are also different:

 

Refrigerator

 

  1. The refrigerator door rack in the refrigerator room is suitable for food that is not easy to break or to be eaten immediately.

 

  1. The upper floor near the door is suitable for direct food.

 

  1. The leftovers at home should be placed on the upper rear wall after being encapsulated in advance.

 

  1. The position near the door at the lower layer of the refrigerator is suitable for all kinds of vegetables, melons, and fruits.

 

  1. The lower rear wall is suitable for uncooked food that must be preserved at low temperatures.

 

Freezer

 

  1. The upper layer of the refrigerator freezer has the lowest temperature and is suitable for quick freezing.

 

  1. The middle layer is suitable for food that does not need to be heated for a long time.

 

  1. Frozen fish, raw meat, and seafood are best placed on the lower floor

 

 

Frequency of use

 

The purpose of installing a lamp in the refrigerator is to facilitate users to find things. Especially in the middle of the night, you come out of the room to find some drinks, but you are too lazy to turn on the lamp in the living room. At this time, the lamp in the refrigerator plays a good lighting role.

 

According to the above classification of items placed in the refrigerator and freezer, we can see that people usually drink drinks and unfinished snacks are placed in the upper refrigerator. So, try to think back and compare the number of times you opened the refrigerator and freezer in a day. Do you have no idea how many times you opened the refrigerator, but only a few times for the freezer?

 

From this point of view, it is very necessary to install a lamp in the refrigerator. In contrast, the freezer, which is rarely used in a day, has natural light during the day, so there is no need to turn on the lamp, and the probability of using it in the middle of the night is smaller. It can be seen that it is not necessary to install a lamp in the freezer.

 

Considering the economic cost of installing lamps and the frequency of users' use of refrigerated rooms and freezers, it is more cost-effective to install lamps in refrigerated rooms than in both refrigerated rooms, and consumers are more willing to pay for it. Therefore, most refrigerators in the market will not turn on the light when the freezer is opened, because there is no light.
