Plan on laying these in a acrylic tray with the LED touching/shining through the arcrylic. Do these get hot enough to melt/burn acrylic/polycarb?

Hi, I'll be glad to give you my thoughts on this.The LED lights get a little warm bu not to melt the type of material you will use those against acrylic/polycarb.Go for it, these look amazing.

The led will be damaged before the acrylic or polycarbonate from heat. They should both withstand the heat just fine.

My experience is the individual lights don't get hot. I did connect the entire roll and it got very warm quickly.

I have never tried using them on a heat source. Don't think I'd want to. I'd like to keep them shiny and in optimum shape for measuring tools.

My experience was not good using them on 500W par 64 cans, they melted within minutes, so 100 W - if they are far away from the light they MAY be OK but I would not guarantee it. My smaller cans with 75W get pretty hot and warp the more expensive gels because the bulbs are about 1 inch away, so these would likely melt too. The PAR 64 cans held the gels about 10 inches away and as I noted they melted in minutes. These would work well for LED or fluorescent lights, but incandescent lights were a no-go for me.

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!

Yes they do. Don't leave them in hot environment or they melt. They work really well.

Mine does get hot, I have it on my lamp now and the paper is very warm but not hot. My halgen bulb is about 9 inches from the paper though. It is not sitting right near the paper. I have had no problems with them melting in any way.

They don't burn hot. They get hot like any other bulb sold out there. There isn't any torture on the wiring. I have had them for quite sometimes now. They've been great.

yes they would be fine for that. I am wrapping them in a sheer fabric as well and have had them on for about 30 minutes solid not blinking. The led lights do not generate much heat at all.

These ARE paper thin, and if the lighting is cool to warm, they should work well for you. They did not work well in my application however. They were sold as being able to be used with hot theatrical lighting, but they will melt and ruin anything moderately hot that they come in contact with. Hope this helps.

they burned a good 4-6 hours-i used them for a thanksgiving buffet at my house-though i did learn not to have them on top of a vinyl tablecloth!! lol-melted a little but didnt hurt anything.

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.

I used them last night to make crayons and I set the oven to 250° C. Worked perfectly!

as far as heat goes the leds do not give off that much heat, but the driver electronics in the lower part of the bulb gets quite warm to hot on these led bulbs.

The threaded area is made of plastic so temperature is their main concern. LED's should be fine.

Honestly I do not know....these are LED which are rated for gazillion hours so I am not concerned with them burning out ;-)

No generally LEDs do not produce heat anything like an incandescent, but I am using them in motion sensing outdoor fixtures that are enclosed in glass, they stay on for 5-10 minutes at a time generally but they will be fine in most applications and not get very hot, I have all sorts of LEDs installed besides these in use outdoors I have PAR 35 flood lights and several indoors that have not been a problem at all.

I wouldn't I was using Incandescent Bulbs and the Plastic housing started to WARP. So I can Guarantee that a Basking bulk might warp or even Melt the housing more than the Incandescent bulbs.
