is there concerns how close to ceiling from top of glass fixture for heat, coloring of ceiling as I have 4 3/4 inches clearance with G9 halogen

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.

I would just buy a cool tube light and call it good. Its a bit too narrow to let an HID light free hang in there with no cool tube it will get hot quick anyway you'll at least a 6" inline fan for proper venting even with a cooltube.

Without knowing how much room and depth you have to place the light, yes, the light will light it up; no sweat. You'll have to play the "light placement" game. Hope it works out.

Yes, I just installed in a room with 8 FT ceilings and it looks beautiful. If anyone is over 6FT tall it may be an issue.

This is a very subjective question with a lot of variables. I am an artist myself with a large studio. The 10' ceilingIs not the problem, the light distribution is. Four lights is definitely insufficient. My studio is 17' x 30' and I have18 of these LED lights. But again, enough light, is a very personal issue. Make a temporary hookup and test.

Absolutely not. I installed this fixture in my regular height dining room and the light is so bright I use my dimmer to lower the illumination. I think a higher ceiling might accommodate this light well as it gives off a bit of heat, and I am confident it will be well placed.

Please see Mike H's answer- I purchased the bulbs for the same reasons, however once installed my light fixture glass cover would not fit over the bulbs (bulbs are too big)

I adjusted the height of my tube. I cut the threaded insert down to about 1 inch and completely removed the pole. This allows the light to sit close to the ceiling, but not flush, that way light can go up onto the ceiling. I posted pictures of this on my review.

I combined enough 2' sections to back light 18, continuous feet above my kitchen cabinets and control from a single power source and remote controller. I've not noticed any excessive heat on the transformer from extra sections. I can't say however, if there is less lumens due to the additional load as I dim the contoller to the max for muted lighting. My advice is lay the connected sections out on the floor to test. I have LED lighting above and below my cabinets and couldn't be happier! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of this lighting. Good luck. John

The halogen bulbs are 6ft. above the sitting area in my dining room. While I have had no prolonged period sitting under them, the time spent so far has been without awareness that they were even there, i.e. no uncomfortable warmth was felt. They are extremely bright however and I plan to install a dimmer to remedy that. Hope this helps.

From the ceiling to the top of the mounting ring on top of the lamp is approximately 14 inches (i.e. the length of the chain). From the ceiling to the top of the glass shades is about 23 inches. From the ceiling to the lowest point on the fixture is about 29 inches. That is how I installed mine, but the lamp actually comes with more chain and wire if you need it to hang lower. I don't remember how much length I took out of the original chain / wire. The lamp is very nice, exceeded my expectations.

The fixture doesn't make any heat or not enough to cause any issues for a fiberglass ceiling. It would work just fine

I don't notice any heat output from mine; however I put LED bulbs in the fixtures, and these don't produce much heat anyway. LEDs are much more expensive, but last about three times as long as halogen bulbs. It you use halogen bulbs, I think a lot would depend on your ceiling height.

Victoria, I replaced the original halogen lamp with a Torchstar 5watt LED lamp with a beam angle of 36 degrees to enable me to operate more fixtures on a single transformer. These lamps are 2700K and give the landscaping a nice warm glow. Without knowing exactly what you are trying to accomplish, it would be hard to say what spacing you may need. I use this fixture for up lighting trees in my yard. The spacing will also depend on the distance the fixtures are installed away from the fence. I hope this helps some what. Dean

Codes of course vary. But you are asking is it going to cause problems, no. Absolutely not. Mine have been in two baths now for six month--only diff might be I've nine foot ceilings. I'm sure that does not matter, though. I recommend springing for LED replacements bulbs...the halogens burn hot.

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.

The ceiling fixture that this is inside is NOT enclosed, so heat is somewhat contained. I turned the light on for 1/2 hour. It reached 132. I'm using a Fluke 62 IR thermometer (one of my reviews from a few years ago). I compared it against an equivalent compact fluorescent. The CF reached 168 in the same time. I do have a few LED ceiling lights by Commercial Electric T67 from Home Depot that max out on their top (I pulled one down) at 116, in the same amount of time. I don't have any standard bulbs around anymore for further comparison. I hope this helps.The only incandescent bulb I have is the one under the vent hood, lighting over my stove. The little 40 watt bulb. 230 degrees after 5 minutes!! The ceiling fixture that this is inside is NOT enclosed, so heat is somewhat contained. I turned the light on for 1/2 hour. It reached 132.
