How hot do these get? I'm wnt to connect a ground wire & add a single metal washer to the outside of a plastic bumper, but I want to melt the plastic.

Being that these are very very bright led lights they really don't get hot.the glass housing are warm to the touch but the metal is not. I hope this answers your question.

I do know know directly, but since they are LED's they should not get hot enough to melt plastic. I mounted mine on an aluminium plate using a grommet, this is the same Al plate that my tail lights are attached to. Since they are used at Back-up lights, they are not on very long, and only when the vehicle is in reverse.

They don't get that hot. not at all. You can hold them in ur hand and be fine

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.

They are Light emitting diodes. they don't get hot. But they are bright as heck for their size!

I mounted two of them in my plastic bumper (Toyota FJ) without any problem.

There should not be any plastic on the bulb when you plug it in, any plastic that comes around the bulb should be removed before powering up. Mine came with flexible foam around the bulb to keep it from knocking the hood, which I removed before plugging it in. There was nothing else on the bulb that could have melted.

I believe so. I do not think it would get warm enough to melt the PVC. I have one installed on a water inlet pipe, but its metal. and its only going to come on anyway if its close to freezing.Plus you'll have to insulate around the pipe, after you install the it to keep the heat in.

The shiny part is magnetic and gets pretty hot. If it touches plastic, it might melt it.Sounds like you may be better off using something like a hair dryer.

Its been my experience that they do get warm depending on the size. But electrical buzzing I've never encountered. If it gets hot like alarmingly so then I'd err on the side of caution and send it back for a new one. Mass production has its limits i guess.

Maybe not hot hot. These are pretty thick, shouldn't melt, but doesn't plastic release some chemicals when hot? They are about 2mm thick.

They get real hot. We have a Wolfe Stove and a commercial stainless steel hood, where we use them, so it doesn't matter to us. But deepening on where you put them, I guess it ound be ignificant. They are very hard to find.

I haven't tried to do this but I would imagine since they are plastic they would melt - maybe not in short time increments. I wouldn't recommend it personally but that is just my opinion.

The melting point for PVC pipe is about 176 degrees (F). The cable should not get that hot. Also it says "For metal and plastic water supply pipes" on the front of the package. Hope this helped.

they are metal, and as one reviewer noted, if you have an overflow due to the scoop design allowing it to stack, it can collect some hot water in there. THAT can burn you. I have never believed the handles themselves are too hot under normal situations.

Its all plastic, no metal. They never incorporated a ground wire. Yes, there are pros and cons to this, but it is, what it is. I use a polarized 6 ft cord with no ground in cord. Best to get reducer fittings at a plumbing supply too, since it is an unusual size. good luck

I was going to use these on a DL1000 2009 Suzuki motorcycle - they got so hot I was afraid they would melt the plastic they rested on. Unbelievable had to use pliers to pick them up after only 2 minutes of being hookup. NO WAY I was going to leave these things hook-up. On a motorcycle blinking Fast is a good thing - so I didn't use them at all - WANT MINE fro FREE?

Chrome 3/4, they clang, not an issue. Use electrical tape if a bother. Also, light grease lube to keep from seizing depending on where you live and weather.

These are much better. I've had them in quite hot microwaves with no melting. (No doubt the venting helps too!) I think you'll find that they'll do the job for you just fine.

I would not use them on 400 V DC. My thought is it would get very hot and melt.

U can but way too hot even on low. They got so hot that the plastic started melting

I do not know the exact temperature but they do not get very warm. Since plastics vary in thickness and overall density I would try to ask the manufacturer if you want to be sure.
