They get real hot. We have a Wolfe Stove and a commercial stainless steel hood, where we use them, so it doesn't matter to us. But deepening on where you put them, I guess it ound be ignificant. They are very hard to find.

These are hot. When I turn them on and put my hand an inch away, I can tell they're hot. Wouldn't want to touch it.

NO They are made of rubber so they do not get hot. They are actually very flexible, easy to install. Really love them.

They do not get hot. But they do require a transformer which may get hot. I am using them in a kitchen exhaust hood which already had a transformer built in.

Yes, they can get hot depending on how hot you are heating something up. The mugs have the benefit of the handle which stays cooler.

Its been my experience that they do get warm depending on the size. But electrical buzzing I've never encountered. If it gets hot like alarmingly so then I'd err on the side of caution and send it back for a new one. Mass production has its limits i guess.

I've had three of these for over a year (and doing a great job) and while they do get warm near the lights, I don't think I would classify them as hot. That said, I also don't have anything around them so they get plenty of air.

They get big enough to heat to 650-700 degrees F. if blasted. They burn under metal upside down V-shaped covers, so they do not directly burn the grill/meat.

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.

I have been using them for over a month now and I haven't had any problem. The spec says they should work up until about 149 degrees.

I don't know but I can tell you they hot: no ventilation. I sent mine back.

I think so they do get extremely hot so you might have to hold them up a little. I've never tried it.

Not much, they barely get warm. You can easily handle them bare handed even when on full for quite awhile.

NO .... and they have never gotten hot .. or too hot too handle at all! I can only think if this item had been left on over an extended period of time.

I have not found that they are hot to touch, however, if I do anything in the microwave for more than 3 minutes, I usually adjust my power setting to 70% or less. Foods generally come out better if you nuke them for more time at less power.

I don't know they do get very hot at the base that is why they are made out of metal at the bottom to act as a heat sync.
