Does it generate any heat at all? Can it be used inside a small paper lantern, close enough to the paper that any heat would cause a fire?

Very hot, at base. So hot you can not touch for 2-3 minutes after shutting off.

Hi. This lamp is for healing. It will not heat a room. Minor energy consumption. It is a penetrating heat

There is no heat, this is an LED lamp. Keep your hands under it as long as you want.

I have not used mine in a tent yet but I use it in my Motorhome and do not believe it would be a problem. I have 2 of them now and the unit itself does not get Hot.

its heat resistant, nothing is really fireproof. It is a Muslin Dyed Cloth as long as you dont have a hot lights inches away from it it shouldn't be an issue. I used 800 watt lights to light it from about a foot and a half away for over 2 hours

This is a paper lantern only, no light is included. I used battery operated balloon lights in them. Didn't give off any light, just a little glow, for ambiance.

if you put a "black" light in these, at least dont put the plastic lid back on, black light gets extremely HOT! you can start things on fire very easily with black lights. personally, I would not use this for that type light. if you are buying cheap fake (colored bulbs) then its probably safe. but you should test it first too see how hot they get.

If you are using it with a tarp tent pitched the right, it should definitely produce some effective heat. You could use it in a regular backpacking tent with a great deal of care and caution. Would work better in conjunction with a tarp.

It would depend on the size of the socket. It is meant for a heat lamp. And if plugged into a general socket you would need to be aware if fire risk because of a heat.

Excellent question. I will wait to see answer before buying this lantern as I want to use rechargeable batteries with it.

No flame type heater is safe in a tent. Now with that being said, i have use mine in a pop up blind for hunting. Just have to make sure you have the tank on a stable base and no objects close to the bell of the heater. Tents being nylon, if the bell is to close it, it will melt the fabric. Would not recommend use during sleeping.

It uses a tea light or slightly larger candle. No batteries needed. You slide a small square of paper with chemicals on it into the top of the lantern, and the heat from the candle activates the chemicals. Works great.

No, for safety reasons. It has been a long time since I've gone camping and my concern arises purely from a safety point of view. Sure it will work but the distance it can heat is not very far...maybe 3 feet at most. Even then, I have not tried it so I can't really contribute much to help you. Sorry.

Any heat created from this bulb is very small. I have a second heat lamp to supply heat for my bearded dragon.

I don't think it gets hot enough to cause something to catch fire. I bought it for my daughter to use in her apartment and she put books and pillows in it. It seemed to work well and gave her some piece of mind.

The light it self (led) will not create heat at all. You will not feel any energy heat come from the light at all.

It generates a bit of heat yes, but I've never had it overheat. Max ambient temp I used it in was I think 32C.
