Do these lights get extremely hot?

No, the neat thing about these is they are CFL lights set to the color temperature of daylight--so they do NOT give off the heat of regular incandescent bulbs!!

No, they are Compact Fluorescent Lighbulbs, similar to the ones you have in your home. Those don't get hot at all. They are not incandescent lights.

Not at all, here in Dominican Republic it gets really hot sometimes and I have turned this lights on with temperatures over 95 degrees at working construction area's, I highly recommend this..

Yes they do produce heat. You decide based upon how much light you want/need.

No, these are strobes, not hot-lights. They're designed to be triggered for still photography. They have modeling lamps built in to throw AF light, but those are like 25w bulbs.

Yes they get warm to hot the higher the temperature! Had them for a few years never any problems.

No it does not get hot easily. I use it on my umbrella light and it works fine.

They do not get hot only slightly warm. Easily handled with your bare hand. LED's do not generate heat. I asked one of my techies sons how that works and they said it is two metal plates, germanium and something else. when they apply current to one of the plates, it causes electons to jump to the other releasing energy in the form of light without heat. I love these bulbs, they are brighter and use about ten percent of the current than the bulbs I replaced. I plan to replace every incandescent bulb in my home.

I believe so, but I can't say for certain. It seems to me that these things are designed for stage lighting, which are usually hot, right.

I would say as hot as most light bulbs. When I use them it's usually for short periods of time. I would imagine if being used for a long time, yes.

They don't give off heat. They give a beautiful amber light for a romantic look. They are NOT good however for a bathroom where you want to put on makeup. Pretty in a dining room or powder room.

The lights are strong, but honestly I hardly use them because they get extremely hot very fast. So I often use my other reading lamps instead.

No do not buy these. They over heat as soon as you turn it on. And when I ordered these lights only 1 worked. I recommend buying theImpact Qualite 300 Focusing Flood 2 Light Kit (120VAC)

Nope. They run fairly cool. Way way way cooler than a 60 watt - which is not as bright as this one.

These lights put out a large amount of heat as matter of fact most older lights were recalled or was sent a cage to keep anything from catching fire if knocked over.but I have used mine many many yrs with no problems.These are great lights if used with caution.

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.

The color is bright white (really neither blue or yellow) and I'm not sure about temp. I don't feel any heat when the lights are on. We put them on a dimmer so we can adjust according to our needs. They are very bright which might be a concern for some.
