Is it normal for these to get warm to the touch while operating?

Yes they get warm to hot the higher the temperature! Had them for a few years never any problems.

I haven't really noticed them getting warm but like many things electronic, I would imagine they could possibly get slightly warm. They certainly have not gotten warm enough to attract my attention. I currently have one programmable one and 5 that are not programmable. I am thinking about replacing 4 more.

Yes, indeed! They DO GET hot! Don't touch. But they don't emit heat like incandescent bulbs do: ie they are cooler in that regard.

Yes, they turn on instantly. They aren't like the old ones that needed to warm up. As to the issue of temperature, I've never had a problem (and I live in Boston), but I don't use them outside. Hope this helps.

I haven't had any issues with them they are installed in my pickup and I haven't had any issues with them getting to hot and I've had no complaints for my customers about them getting to hot!~Dubbs~

I have 3 of these with one in use most of the time. None of mine ever even get warm. I love them!

There's a high and low heat setting. I find the low heat setting to be the equivalent of cool.

Not burning hot but warm/hot to the touch. It depends on a persons sensitivity. That's why there are handles

I think that they warm up fairly quickly and get hot enough that I turn them down. Their size is better than other ones that I have had in the past too.

as far as heat goes the leds do not give off that much heat, but the driver electronics in the lower part of the bulb gets quite warm to hot on these led bulbs.

I have not noticed any excessive heat from the light. I move the light when I am working and do not feel any heat whether it's close or any distance from my work.I especially like the long arms.

I didn't notice this before but it is true. It feels warm but nothing to be concerned about. I opened it and found 2 one watt resistors inside which could be the reason for the rise in temperature. The two resistors were shiny as new. Two different brand remotes I own do not show that condition, they do not have large resistors.

Typically no. I use them in the microwave all the time and they do not overheat. The only time I've noticed them getting hot to the touch has been when I microwaved a bowl of water for five minutes to steam clean my microwave. That time the bowl got pretty hot and I needed to use a towel, but that's been the case with every bowl I've ever done that in.

Yes, this is normal for lithium ion batteries. Charging and discharging will always result in some degree of heat output.

I live in California normaly warm but has been 23 and they still work. I am not positive but high heat I would think would be more concern.

Barely noticeable. I have not noticed the machine getting overly hot either. It seems to stay quite cool to the touch

No, it shouldn't be so hot as to cause worry. Mine just gets warm after a while

Very hot? It's normal for rechargebles to get warm, even very warm, but not hot...at least not too hot to the touch.
