Anyone have any issues of heat building up due to the fact that these are metal and it's a dark color?

These planters are more steel gray in color.I had planters about a year with no problem with heat or color change.

Haven't experienced any problems with heat. The containers are great for holding moisture. I haven't had to water my front porch plants as often since switching to these.

I haven't had them for a long enough time to notice any rust. I live in a very dry climate, so rust isn't that big of a problem here. I also have refrigerated air and not swap cooling so that could also be helping me.

They get real hot. We have a Wolfe Stove and a commercial stainless steel hood, where we use them, so it doesn't matter to us. But deepening on where you put them, I guess it ound be ignificant. They are very hard to find.

I haven,t had them for years. But, so far I haven,t had any problems with it coming off. Just make sure you heat set it properly.

I have never had heat be an issue. The unit has a warm feeling when operating but not to the extent that I could not use the unit.

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.

This is strange. I didn't experience any exceptional heat. What voltage are you using. They are supposed to be fed by 12 Volt.

You really can't tell they give off any heat at all, I've never noticed them to be excessively warm. You can use an LED instead but I have yet to find an LED that doesn't really stick out in that lightbulb design, the LEDs have a lot of plastic in their design as opposed to the halogens that have a sleek, metal look to them.

I have had my unit for 6 months. I have never had an issue with the unit heating up. you need to have your unit checked.

I too haven't had any issues. There are heat settings that you can adjust. If it doesn't heat up, you may have a defective unit.

They are not heated I don't know why it says that. I wondered the same when ordering but wanted them either way so got them anyways. They do look great though, I'm very happy with them!

95º heat doesn't seem to be a problem. Mine aren't in direct sunlight though.

So far mine is looking great. No sign the heating rods are warping...ive had mine for a year or so.

None that I am aware of. They are good quality and I have been using them for over a year now, including Canadian winter days where the bbq is heating up from dead cold to 400 degF+. Metal has maintained shape and strength, just discoloured as any stainless exposed to high heat will.
