Does this lamp put out any heat? Does it ever make your face sweatier or oilier than it would have been if you weren't in front of it?

It does not put out heat. It is very bright. It does not make your face sweatier or oilier than if it would have been if you weren't in front of it. You can sit directly in front of it but my daughter and I wear our sunglasses for the time we use the lamp in the morning. Hope this helps.

YES! Almost too hot! It is does not have auto shut off though. Don't forget and leave it on! (Trust me!) love it though!

It does get pretty warm right where the heat comes out. I have touched it before, but it didn't burn me. It is still pretty warm tho.

I was actually painting and using my lamp as this e-mail came through. I touched the bulb and Yes you could burn yourself on this bulb if you held your finger there for a minute as it does get pretty hot, it is not a cool touch bulb. It is not like a tanning bulb either and I have used mine every day for years and no sunburn :)Hope this answers your question.

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

Once I read the question, I turned on my lamp for about half an hour. When I went back to check it, it was slightly warm to the touch, but it was not at all hot. I have mine mounted in a swivel socket and the socket was still cold.

The insert that came with the lamp says not to add any oils or sprays, so I personally haven't tried it. There was a strange odor in my apartment when I moved in, and I have noticed that it has disappeared within a week of using this lamp, however. I haven't tried it with any strong cooking odors, though.

Nope! I've used mine without turning it off, or taking breaks, for well over an hour and haven't felt it get hot yet.

It will show every movement of your head, your forehead will sweat from the plastic against it (the light does not get hot in my experience, but having the large chunk of plastic against my forehead while working does cause more noticeable sweat). The ability to focus is nice for that use as well.

It gets too hot for my feet, and does not have a temp control. I have mine plugged in to a lamp dimmer and usually use it at about 2/3rds of maximum (about 60 watts instead of 90).

Definitely not hot, this is a wonderful lamp. Would be a great lamp for a child's room (no cord, no plug, nothing hot) as long as you remember to recharge it.

It just doesn't get dangerously hot - apparently the vented shade and halogen bulb inhibit overheating. I have turned off the light after an hour or more use and then brushed my hand against the lamp while prepping pillows - and not been burned doing so - it is warm but not skin-searing hot ever. This is actually one of the best features of the lamp, for which I have the highest praise.

I have had the LED light for several months now and it does not get hot, i.e. causing pain if touched. The low wattage creates very little heat.

I haven't specifically noticed the lamp being too hot, but it usually stays in one spot, and when I am finished using it, I just pull the chain to turn it off. I imagine the glass shade is hot to the touch, but I don't think the base is hot at all. Hope I answered your question.

With the light on its stand on the table in front of you with the lamp pointing to the left or right you should be fine. With the lamp pointing towards you it may be too bright for your eyes.Distance from the lamp depends on what you consider comfortable lighting.Typical LED lamps do not get hot, they do not even get warm.

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.
