If these are pointed down or toward you, is it too hot to stand beneath them?

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.

I don't notice any heat output from mine; however I put LED bulbs in the fixtures, and these don't produce much heat anyway. LEDs are much more expensive, but last about three times as long as halogen bulbs. It you use halogen bulbs, I think a lot would depend on your ceiling height.

They are rated at 750 degrees, not sure how hot you are thinking but mine were used on high so far

As an owner of these the answer is no because the back is almost 180 degrees.

If under your desk, probably. Heat will always radiate if nothing stops it.

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.

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

While it is possible to angle the light down we do not recommend it for safety reasons. Some models of our lights cannot be angled down at all. As you know, halogen bulbs get very hot, angling the lights downward can magnify and concentrate the heat intensity - and so we do not recommend the light be used this way.

Vertical pointing straight up is Full HOT, Horizontal pointing towards the front of the sink is full COLD. Full swing is 90 degrees. You should have no issues.

most of the heat comes from the tubes... and they are in the open. I wouldn't touch them after it has been on for a while.. they are very hot.

Yes, it is hot when fully up to temp - you wouldn't want to grab and hold for long, but could pick up long enough to reposition. It includes 2 clip-on stands to elevate slightly from floor, which is desirable to help achieve better heat convection.

The base does get hot during use. For stability sakes, I would keep it on level ground.

you should be able to press your hand against them and they will just be very warm, not hot. As Amy R. said....they are not expected to be really hot...that would be a regular sauna.

Yes- although standing around on hot pavement might not be good in them- not sure but they're like thick balloon material so they could soften/melt if hot enough.

Yes it is very hot - even the low setting. You would get burnt if you put you hands or other body part right within the steam path.

I don't think so --- my boyfriend put them up and I think it is only if you want it to be lower

you can place the heater so it isn't pointed directly on them and they should be alright
