I am a beekeeper. I sometimes need to warm crystallized honey. The load will be a100W or smaller bulb. Is this too light a load?

there is no minimum power capacity on relays... (10 A/250 V) maximum.. no where near your 100W load

This works by temperature. When the temp gets to your min/max, the outlet cuts the power. You need to know your working temp. The specs. will determine if it can work at a low enough temp.

no, this will work like a standard ac socket just with a digital switch. anything up to 1000w will work great.

The outputs are "relays", which are mechanical contacts. They therefore do not have a minimum current load.

The Elitech basically provides a temperature controlled switch, with the actual switch contacts being open and closed by a relay. To use the device to turn your light bulb on and off, you take the lamp cord and open one of the wires. Trim the leads back about 0.25" and then connect those leads to terminals for heating a the rear of the unit. READ THE ELITECH MANUAL. The load can be as little as 1 watt, as high at 1200 watts (the 10A limit of the relay at 120 volts). Once you have finished setup of the Elitech, then plug in your lamp cord to a wall outlet.

The box or the bulb itself does not have any wattage rating written. The bulb only gets warm but not hot. Since it uses LEDs, the power drawn should be minimal.

I'm not about fit, that of course depends on the threading size where your bulb screws into your lamp. It is small, as in chandelier size so maybe that answers that! Also-it's not very bright/strong! I got it for a makeup mirror and it doesn't really have much power so I can say it shouldn't burn your lamp! If you're after a soft glow-this is it!

i don't see any problem. you can use this CLF in a lamp that takes a 60 watt lightbulb. as a result, you get a brighter light (equiv. to a 100 watt) without the "heat" of an incandescent.

It depends on the bulbs you put in! It can handle up to 100w bulbs, so it should be as bright as you want it.

Yes, that's why I'd really recommend that you use LED bulbs for this fixture because it does not heat up. You can try checking out this bulb, it's what I've been using and I consider it one of the best bulbs I've purchased. Hope it helps!

A 105w CFB should be fine as they produce significantly less heat than incandescent, halogen or the likes. And this particular bulb holder uses a ceramic socket inside it to deal with heat issues without melting, that's why I use them. But as always, YMMV.

It is warm but not 2700k. The intensity of light is not same as halogen bulb under cabinet lights

It is never too hot to touch the metal desklamp shade I have above it. It gets very warm but not hot. I would say less than or about the same as a 40 watt bulb.

You should be able to use up to a 60 W incandescent bulb. The limit is imposed by a thermal overload built into the fixture housing. If you need more light, I suggest you use a compact fluorescent or LED.

We use regular 60 watts clear light bulbs, b/c the bulbs it came with were too low. Be careful though, b/c with the 60, the crystals on the lamb might get too hot and melt.

It is! This a great looking bulb. Keep in mind though that since the bulb has filaments, it gets pretty hot, but if the farm style pendant light has a glass globe, you should be fine. Also, although it's a 60-watt bulb, because of the antiquing of the glass, it's slightly dimmer than a "regular" 60-watt; maybe around 50-watts or so. It is a great looking bulb!

I used these in my kitchen paddle fan to maximize the light output. The shade is open on top so heat build up wasn't a problem. If you are using them to replace an incandescent bulb they should be fine. All incandescents create more heat then fluorescents so that would represent a heat reduction. If you are using them to replace a smaller fluorescent bulb in a tight enclosed fixture, logically a larger (more watts) creates more heat then a smaller one so its more conceivable that it could create more heat then the fixture could handle. A fixture with a real ceramic socket is more tolerant of higher heat. You might want to buy one bulb and see. I used these in my kitchen paddle fan to maximize the light output.

The lamp was for my daughter's room and it's just a bedside accent lamp - not main lighting. If you wanted more light from it I would check at a home improvement store for a compact fluorescent or LED bulb that would give more light with less wattage and therefore less heat (you could probably get 75 to 100 watts worth of light for 45 watts). They have some now that give off a much warmer light than they used to.

I bought it for LED bulbs in the hall. In one fixture I had 60W brightness, in the other 40W. It dimmed both, but the one fixture dimmed all the way to out while the other one was still on a bit, but it worked fine for me. The LED light color did not change to more yellow that I could see as it dimmed. There was no buzzing or any issues.

the light may be more intense than you need for a range hood -- main thing I would consider would be the heat given off by this bulb, which is substantial

I replaced a 30 watt DWE 125 Volt bulb with this one in a microwave and it works satisfactorily. The glass envelope is a little shorter than my original bulb, so it will fit in a more compact space. It is rated at 40 watts, so it will produce more light and run a little hotter. In my Amana microwave it is working without a problem.
