Where to buy a light bulb for the Pozis refrigerator: official and alternative options

When in the refrigerator Pozis a light bulb burns out, this is not just an annoying trifle - without lighting it is difficult to see the contents of the shelves, and constantly opening the door in search of products leads to excessive consumption of electricity. But finding a suitable lamp is not so easy: models Pozis (especially old series XK-140, XK-160 or Pozis-106) often require specific parts that are not sold in every store. In this article we will look at where exactly to look for an original light bulb, how to check its compatibility and what to look for so as not to run into a low-quality analogue.
