by chance are they conductive aluminum foil or non-conductive like plastic? Could someone check one with a volt (ohm) meter?

Hi John D., Here are a couple of web links which I hope will answer your question regarding Mylar: http://usa.dupontteijinfilms.com/informationcenter/downloads/Electrical_Properties.pdf https://www.tapplastics.com/uploads/pdf/Tech%20Data-2011-%20Mylar.pdf

I too am interested in knowing the shielding type. Dear sellers: company reputation and QC methods are irrelevant here.

Pretty certain they are plastic, I can't check as they are all inside a lighting project but I am certain they were not ceramic. However, they work great and I am very happy with them.

Maybe not hot hot. These are pretty thick, shouldn't melt, but doesn't plastic release some chemicals when hot? They are about 2mm thick.

They are plastic. It is kind of thin so be gentle with them. I have made 3 batches with them and they are still holding up.

The material seems to be either plastic or nylon. They may not hold up in boiling water.

Plain aluminum (kitchen) foil works well for this purpose. This product should work a little bit better as it will (slightly) reduce conductive heat loss as well.

They are plastic, we bought the black ones and you can't tell any difference where the metal ends and the plastic begins. Very easy to install, took about 2 hrs.. but didn't seem like it. Good buy.

They are made out of something other than ordinary plastic. Silicon is my best guess, they era so flimsy and difficult to handle I can't recommend them. If bpa is what you find in the cheapest of products...my guess is it's in these items.

I believe they are plastic. I'm sorry for your issue, hopefully you can find replacements.

Well just recently, I replaced another to find the metal wire on the side was gone. It rusted away and melted the plastic again. They are not high quality, as I thought before. They are pretty cheap. They sit around 6300k for light temp.

They are plastic. They are round so they don't damage a tent. They could eventually scratch a wood floor I suppose but unlikely.

They should be perfectly fine for a very long time. Ive the intact strips running on a 11-14.3 volt system and they work just fine in that range. Ive only had issues with one strip because of a crack in the rubber shell letting water into it

Keep these away from your stovetop, they are not heat resistant at all. I can't really complain since they are inexpensive and are made of plastic. Just be warned.

I'd be shocked if they had lead in them. They're silicone, not metal. And they're food grade.

The ones I received were aluminum with a glass lens. The housing was very well made. I have only had failures at the socket (where there is a lot of heat). I now use LED bulbs that generate much less heat. This is a good setup and a good value.
