I am installing this in a kitchen where the ceilings are not very high and the kitchen is small at my beach condo. Do these burn very hot? I don't w

I can only answer from my own experience with an 8 foot ceiling in my kitchen. I don't experience any unusual heat from them.

Like all halogen bulbs, the bulb itself gets very hot. You won't feel it heating the room, but it would burn your fingers nicely if you touched it. They work well with a dimmer switch, which is always easy to put in place of a regular switch...

They do get hot, but no different than porcelain bakeware I stick in there. I just use a dish towel or pot holder to take things out and let them sit for a minute. They are doing well in the dishwasher and I haven't chipped them yet.

They do not get hot. But they do require a transformer which may get hot. I am using them in a kitchen exhaust hood which already had a transformer built in.

I've only used them indoors in my fireplace. And they heat up the room nicely with no Cleanup! Outside, they might not do as well in the wind without some kind of metal backdrop to protect from the wind. (Just guessing)

Absolutely! There is really no heat from these lights and they do offer much light. We do personal videos and use these light with other lights to help adjust our sets. Hope this helps!

I have these in several fixtures and I do leave some of these on for extended periods, and they certainly don't produce as much heat as an incandescent bulb. By no means would I call the amount of heat they do produce "tremendous".

Yes, they do get hot, but maybe it is because I have a gas range. We do have to use pot holders.

NO They are made of rubber so they do not get hot. They are actually very flexible, easy to install. Really love them.

I really do not know the answer, mine were in a chandelier. Could they cause a fire? Maybe you are courting danger.

From my experience they only get hot if you're cooking something else and the handle of the one is near the burner of another. Just the pan by itself on the burner does not get hot when cooking. We use a regular gas stove if that makes any difference.

I used these in my kitchen paddle fan to maximize the light output. The shade is open on top so heat build up wasn't a problem. If you are using them to replace an incandescent bulb they should be fine. All incandescents create more heat then fluorescents so that would represent a heat reduction. If you are using them to replace a smaller fluorescent bulb in a tight enclosed fixture, logically a larger (more watts) creates more heat then a smaller one so its more conceivable that it could create more heat then the fixture could handle. A fixture with a real ceramic socket is more tolerant of higher heat. You might want to buy one bulb and see. I used these in my kitchen paddle fan to maximize the light output.

They do not get hot based on my personal stove top experience which actually surprised me. If you put them in the oven they will get hot. Be sure to read the directions very carefully about temperatures (never high) and case of this product and they will last a lifetime. Good luck.

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.

These light blubs have very low heat. Even when they have been on a long time you can touch them and not burn yourself.

They are LEDs so you shouldn't have a problem. I didn't notice them getting all that hot. Granted, I haven't left them on for hours at a time and then tested.

I think so they do get extremely hot so you might have to hold them up a little. I've never tried it.

These generate a good amount of heat. If you're putting them in a waterproof fixture, you need to make sure they don't overheat considering the sealed container. I would think it is best to verify with the manufacturer.
