Could anyone tell me if this light gets 'hot' when it's running? Thx!

We haven't had that issue. Not sure how long we've left it running. But it's never been an issue.

specifically the base does get hot to the touch but it seems very little if any heat is given off. There's nearly no discernible heat from the bulb/light and almost no heat given off in general. Should be completely safe for fully enclosed fixture.

I would say yes. It can get hot after extended use but it is extremely bright. Maybe have an extra battery or second light so they do not get too hot.

Mine also runs quite hot. After a year of "continuous running" it still runs hot and has not failed.

Mine is hot too since I started to use it. I have to unplug it when I don't use it.

This light runs very hot. So hot that it needs a cooling fan to make sure the LED doesn't fail. If the lamp is installed in a sealed housing it will cause the light to overheat quite quickly. But, because of the fan, you also don't want this lamp installed outside unprotected, as rain and moisture will also damage the LED and cooling fan.

I've never had this problem. An LED should NEVER get any more than slightly warm unless something is wrong.

If your elements are still lit up and it stays hot, there must be a problem with it. Mine does neither of those things. I'd return it, I think :).

Not a lot since the bulb is florescent. I use mine at the office and its on all night. I don't notice any increase in heat. It has been a good light for me.

I'm sure it would get hot at the highest setting but why would you leave it on for this long at the high setting? If you have a need for a portable light that puts out this much light for an hour you should probably be looking at 12 volt light bulbs rather than a tactical flashlight.

No, not at all. This lamp is in my living room and used every evening 7 days a week. It has never been hot to the touch.

I've had this light flush mounted since early to mid summer, and so far have had no problems with it. I do not have any special ventilation. The bulbs themselves can get hot as they are halogen, but I don't believe that there is any transformer inside that would heat up the fixture itself. If you don't want heat coming from the bulbs, you can always buy g9 size LED bulbs. If you do that, I recommend buying the regular (non-dimmable) LED bulbs, as the dimmable LED bulbs can be quite large.

Not at all, Ive had mine for a while and it stays cool. its just a lil led in there so it doesnt get hot.

Sorry not sure what you are asking - color temp.? the color is white & since it is LED it is not hot. If that helps?

If the red light is the only one that comes on your battery is probably too hot. Let it cool down or even put it in the refer for awhile. That has worked for me.

From what I can tell so far, when running continuous on high, the battery only last around an hour. But that probably isnt real accurate. My uses are on and off a lot. I dont usually run it for more than a few minutes at a time. I do know that this light does get hot to the touch when its been on for an extended period of time.
