One of my bulbs in the fridge went out, which used a 60W incandescent A15 bulb. I wanted to go with an LED product, but didn't want to spend $10-15 on a 40W equivalent A15 LED bulb for this application.

The cheap $4.97 two pack of A19 bulbs barely didn't fit inside the housing, so I decided to cut off the housing. I thought I'd post some pictures of the inside. Not much to see, and I don't plan on cutting it apart any more to see the driving circuit.
From what I can see, there 11 LED packages mounted on a metal core PCB that's screwed to a metal housing/heatsink. There's also some silicone thermal adhesive used between the PCB and housing.
I'll probably put some kind of diffuser on the inside of the bulb above the LEDs so I don't blind myself every time the fridge is opened (the position of the bulb is dead center on top of the fridge pointing at the user).
Btw, I measured it to draw 8.40W, .633PF.
