Have you noticed the metal frame of the lamp being hot to the touch while in use? Especially when you touch to adjust light level.

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 have never noticed the temp to be hot. It is occasionally warm up at the top near the bulb, but the stem in not even warm. Hope this helps.

No, not the base, not at all or the metal stem. However, the very top metal knob that holds the lamp shade does. Just that little tip.

I have not experienced that with mine. Sounds like thermal expansion of metal. If its under warranty have it replaced, otherwise love it or leave it!

I have several and never happened to me. I live in the southwest desert climate though and I had read somewhere that if you live in a very humid climate you have to check them as they tend to collect condensation from the humidity reacting to the heat from the bulb. Maybe because they are "salt" lamps that is the reason. Salt does dissolve in liquid so if they tend to sweat in high humidity that might be the problem. And, I'm guessing that might be the issue.

I bought two lamps. One is still working perfectly. The other one was also working just fine until about a month ago and it blew out as well. Still waiting to hear about any resolution to the issue.

No but I do have it in a fixture that has a reflector shield around it to concentrate the light. It is as hot as a regular light bulb.

I also have that touch lamp and mine works perfectly. Love it. There could be something in the wiring in the pole part of the lamp, that is giving you a short.

I have a desk lamp with this bulb and it gets hot enough to not want to touch the top of it. All I can say if you can put your hand above it and not have to take your hand away, your prob ok.

Mine is in a courtyard and constantly shaded but yes, the button part is just slightly warm to the touch. I figure it's the light emitting a tiny bit of heat.

I don't have this problem, but it sounds like you have an electrical short in the lamp. I would return it. Good luck.

No, I have never experienced over heating. The lamp is in my daughter's room and she tends to fall asleep frequently with the lamp on only for me to find the next morn that it was on overnight! and nothing has ever happened. I recommend and use the bulb indicated in the installation instructions.

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

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.

I've got my lamp pluged into an electrical strip, and with each touch to the base, it gets brighter till the 4th touch and it turns off. Your lamp should should turn off with the 4th touch, if not, could be defective.

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. )

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 :).

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