Hello. Does the lamp get too hot to handle after say 3 hours of usage?Thanks, Rakesh

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.

The base and post would be fine to grab. The white top can get hot however, so I would avoid grabbing the top.

Not really, it does get a bit warm, but the stem is cool to the touch. I have seen classic banker's lamps on all day in older banks and the glass does not break. It depends on the wattage of the light bulb you use. I have a 60 watt light bulb in my lamp and it gives out the right amount of light, even with the white diffuser.

Mine has lasted 2 years now. When you installed it you did not touch the lamp at all with your fingers and transfer anything to the lamp face? That maybe could create a hot spot and it burned out? Sometimes there is just a defect. When I first installed it I must have jarred the optical block so I had a rose tint across the top of the screen about 3 inches down. After a while you learn to ignore it, but I noticed recently that the line is gone. I moved the set a bit recently to get at a side connector and I am wondering whether that jarred something back in place. Now I won't move the set at all until the bulb dies again or something else goes south.

I just removed my lamp bulb to check it out. There are no signs of burning or melting the bulb holder. I have had this lamp about 3 months, but use it extensively, sometimes leaving it on for 3 or four hours at a time.

Havw not had any problems wih the bulb. I have this bulb in a lamp that is on 12 hours over night, every night for the past 3 weeks. The light is whiter and brigher than the CFL bulb. The bulb does heat up during use. After a month or so, I will probably install more in ceiling lights and outdoor porches.

I've had my lamp for 6 months. I've never tested the battery for time duration, but it definitely longer than 2 hrs. If I use it a lot, I plug it up whether it needs it or not, just so I'll have it bright for the next use. Also pay attention to the recharge instructions. It's pretty tough, I use it for MIG welding as my shop isn't well lit and my vision isn't as good at 60 as it once was... HTH, Russ

If you lamp is over two years old, that sounds like it time to change it.or the only other proble that youse have is your cooling fan next to the lamp, if the lamp get to hot then it will turnd it self off till it cools down

I'm sorry. I can not answer this question at this time. The lamp has not been used on an hourly basis . . yet.

Base is very solid - heavy lamp. The only problem we have had is the 3-way lamp get really hot.

If you have set the timer, it will go off after the desired number of minutes. I do not have problems with the lamp going off when I did not set the timer.

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.

Yes, that is the case. Since my initial review, I find that is becomes too hot to handle after a few minutes and that light does not stay on reliably. I have to shake it to make it come back on sometimes. (It could be batteries as I have not tried changing them yet, but I haven't used the light much so I doubt it. )

I've had mine two years. Ovevthe past 6 months, I've taken to leaving it on all day (on the weekends when I'm home). I use it like a regular lamp. No problems.May not want to use it as a reading lamp during the evening in the case it keeps one awake.

Hello. If there is some ventilation there should be no problem. But using a complete sealed fixture (like IP65), this could overheat the bulb. Your technolamp Team.

As far as I know this lamp carries a full 1 Year Warranty. I have had my lamp for just 3 months now with no issues. Let me know how it comes out.

It just doesn't get dangerously hot - apparently the vented shade and halogen bulb inhibit overheating. I have turned off the light after an hour or more use and then brushed my hand against the lamp while prepping pillows - and not been burned doing so - it is warm but not skin-searing hot ever. This is actually one of the best features of the lamp, for which I have the highest praise.

Hi there. I got mine lamp last March and the bulb that came with it just burned out about 2 weeks ago. So a solid year for me and I've used it at least 8 hours a day, Monday-Friday in my home office, where I work full-time. Easy to change the bulb, too. The cover snaps right off and you just pop it out and plug in a replacement.
