I purchased this dryer to match my new washer, which had died after 16 years.  The old dryer was the same age.  The LG washer and dryer earned high consumer reviews, qualify for my state's tax break on energy-efficient appliances, and do their jobs well.  However, even my old, basic dryer had a drum light.  Why LG did not include this small but helpful feature is a mystery.  Adding an LED light would certainly not compromise the Energy Star rating!
