How much heat does this bulb give off? Can you feel it only a few inches away?

I finally figured this out! I've gotten this question so many times, I hope it helps. To answer straight off, yes, I can feel heat from a few inches away. It's not burning hot, just mild, but does get warmer the longer you keep your hand there. The bulb is 6400K. I now use this for many things. Seed germination, photo lighting, happy mood and for work lighting. Makes the seeds grow and me feel great!

Surprisingly,for a bulb this size it doesn't give off a lot of heat.I use it for all phases of grow from germination all the way to seedling stage with no burn.It's pretty close at all stages so no worries on your end.They love it and my peppers have never looked this good.Add a little easy listening music and your babies will love you for it. I'm buying a back up bulb just in case,so I don't have any interrupted grow time come February in my grow room. Good luck and happy gardening.

You can feel it a few inches away, but it's not "hot" at that point. I used it to grow seeds/seedlings, and the only time I had a leaf burn was when one actually touched the lamp for a half-day. I maintained the lamp at about 3" from the plants and raised it as they grew.

Hi I think it would work the bulb gives off little heat. But check to make sure it would fit in the fixture your planning to use

Absolutely OK. They emit close to zero heat. You can grab the bulb with your bare hands even after it has been on and not get burned.

Likely the same coverage. The bulb light coverage on goes so far down as the bulb's tulip. I do not notice any heat from the bulb. I can touch it after several minute on with only a very faint warmth.

I have them mounted on a 9' ceiling and feel no warmth from them at all when directly under a lamp pointed down. When installed and I was inches away, there was some warmth, but not uncomfortably so.

You can just reach in and change the bulb. We have it in living room and bedroom and have not noticed any heat. They look great.

I have several of these installed in small cans in the kitchen. Heat is not an issue; you can touch/handle the bulbs even without turning the circuit off, as they produce considerably less heat than their incandescent or halogen predecessors.

There is no heat, this is an LED lamp. Keep your hands under it as long as you want.

I have not notice until you asked... I felt the front of the TV where lamp is installed. It is not exceptionally warm. It is about the same as the 46" Sony LCD TV that I have. I hope this answer your question.

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.

The light bar does heat up slightly. However it's never hot to the touch, just warm. I doubt highly that the lights would heat anything more than a few inches away. Hope that helps.

Very close. Inches from face and move around to cover whole face. Bulb doesn't get hot. For 10 minutes or so ? Maybe a couple times a week

You only have to worry about heat if you are using an incandescent bulb. Fluorescent produces some heat, but nowhere nearly enough to damage what you are enlarging. LEDs produce such little heat that it isn't a concern. You just have to find one that fits right.

The bulb does get hot, and would burn a child's finger if they touched it after it has been on for a few minutes. I use them in recessed ceiling light fixtures in my RV.

No, there is very little heat generated from this light unit. I use it to illuminate a refugium which is in a cabinet and I don't have any problems with heat at all.

After 10 minutes on the bulb is unpleasant to touch, but not hot enough to actually damage your hand. Certainly not hot enough to cause a fire. If you confine the bulb in a small space,(ie shower cap) it may get warm enough to melt the shower cap

1) no, it's a special heat resistant plastic but you can still feel the heat when you touch it....but it's not overly warm to the touch. 2) I have only used the Zilla Night Black 50 watt bulbs in them myself.
