Does the heads get hot from the bulbs? My experience with similar lamps in the past, the heads got very hot and unable to touch. Thanks

Halogens do tend to get very hot. We replaced the bulbs that came with the fixture with LED bulbs that do not generate the heat.

Yes, they get too hot to touch. That's why they have the rod with the small ball on the end to adjust the direction of the lamp.

I am sure they get hot. I bought LED bulbs on amazon and they work well and stay cool and are dimmable.

Yes, the housing around the light gets hot. There is a handle on each fixture to adjust that doesn't get hot.

The bulb does get hot, and would burn a child's finger if they touched it after it has been on for a few minutes. I use them in recessed ceiling light fixtures in my RV.

no, it is a desk lamp without a buld, i advise you to use a led bulb so that is doesn't get hot

Dear Michiganian,I tested the bulb and touched it while it was on. Didn't know or care before. You can touch the plastic part where the light shines through, no problem as it is only warm. The metal part in the middle of the bulb does get a little hotter though, I would say hotter than warm, but not really hot. I can still touch it. Hope that answers your question.

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

Some of the bulbs burned out fairly early on. re: others...in different lamps they have just turned off by themselves and come back on occasionally if you leave the switch on. I regard them as hit or miss and a pain in the butt, especially when you leave the room and come back, forgetting you had the lamp on and suddenly it lights up again.

They seem to get hot enough to prevent the build up. Although they don't get as hot as halogen or hid lights. One thing I have noticed when they get dirty they seem to effect the been pattern more than with other lights. Not a complaint just an observation.

I've had very good luck with mine, and no issues. Be sure to use dielectric grease on the connections before installing the bulb. Its possible a lack of grease along with thr high wattage could be heating up the connection and shortening the bulb life. Use a plain paper towel when handling the bulb. Oil in even the cleanest skin can shorten bulb life.

I haven't had a problem with heat. The CFL bulbs never get too hot. I've used mine for hours at a time with no problem.

We have never had that problem. We use our lamp frequently and have had no problems at all. Absolutely love it!

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.

I am sorry I cannot answer that honestly. I have never had an issue with them but I never have a lamp touching them or fire near them. Sorry

Not really. Like any lamp, you don't want to touch near the bulb, but it's the heat is not as bad as you think it will be for a lamp this bright.

All bulbs give off heat.You must have a very, very sensitive sense of smell.Or are you talking about smelling so called "negative ions".It is a freakin decorative lamp. That is all.

Hi there, just like any light bulb it will get hot, but we have the lamp resting directly on top of a screen for our ball python. It has been a very good lamp especially if you use the Zilla bulbs. (I tried the other brand of bulbs and I felt like they burned out too quickly). This lamp is a good product and I have been happy with it.

They don't burn hot. They get hot like any other bulb sold out there. There isn't any torture on the wiring. I have had them for quite sometimes now. They've been great.

I have 2 lamps like you described in my entry hall. They came with these bulb (which I love by the way), they are on quite a bit being in the entry and I have had no problems. Have had about 9 months. I don't believe the lights I have are made any different than others.
