do these lamps over heat ?

Not especially. I use mine a lot. I don't touch the bulb of course, but I adjust the angle without trouble. Hope this helps.

No, I have never experienced over heating. The lamp is in my daughter's room and she tends to fall asleep frequently with the lamp on only for me to find the next morn that it was on overnight! and nothing has ever happened. I recommend and use the bulb indicated in the installation instructions.

I use LED bulbs in mine, which generate very little heat. If you used regular incandescent bulbs, the bulbs probably would get quite hot. There is a wattage limit on the lamp--- I think 60W/bulb maximum--- but, depending on what your lighting needs are, 180W total is probably more than most people would need, anyway.

The base no, but all lamps get hot enough to cause a fire, just keep them away from the curtains and have your insurance up to date with any electric item turned on in your home.

I have not measured the heat output between the two bulbs and I have not had any heat problems. My guess on the heat would be the same or less. They are way brighter than the 24W bulb and I am happy with the light output.

They don't get hot so I imagine they'd do OK. Not sure how many candelabra base fixtures are available for you to put these in. Many outdoor lamps come pre-installed with LED bulbs these days. I just bought two of them at my local store and 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.

yes they get warm but they are CFL lamps but in my opinion nothing to worry about

depends on the bulbs. heat lamp black lights will melt it. im using compact florescents that dont produce much heat. i would side on caution and say it would melt it

I would say as hot as most light bulbs. When I use them it's usually for short periods of time. I would imagine if being used for a long time, yes.

No, they are Compact Fluorescent Lighbulbs, similar to the ones you have in your home. Those don't get hot at all. They are not incandescent lights.

Depends on the type of bulb used. If you use compact fluorescent bulbs, then no, just warm. If you use incandescent bulbs then maybe, depending on the wattage of the bulb.

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.

This bulb is a spot lamp bulb not like other bulbs. the fouces a beam or channle of heat to one area were normal bulbs scatter heat. so they will help heat a the basking area, theses do over heat very eay. do not use mimi dome lamps were theres isnt wide enough. my beared dragon would only bask around this hot zone never dirrectly under it wich did lead to him stay at temps around 85 or 82 degrees. even rising the lamp dome up higher didnt help. be care full of theses bulbs.

Yes, I have "flame"bulbs and they fit over them. They are a little more wobbly but not a big deal.

It will not overheat as LEDS produce a lot less heat. They use 1/10th the electricity and produce a little more than 1/10 the heat.

I don't have them in lamps that are very tight around the fan, but I have noticed an intermittent fan noise in one of the 150W bulbs I purchased that goes in a lamp that has a glass hemisphere that acts like a megaphone. I'm not sure if it's at a resonant frequency, or just a random issue in one of them. The base can get very warm (I just put my hand on one that's been going for an hour and a half overhead), but not too hot to touch. I'm not sure how hot is too hot, though PacLights may have more information.

I have 75 watt bulbs in mine and have had these lamps now for about a year. Love them.

I have never had a problem with the bulbs. I have two different lamps and they work fine.
