Do these lights produce much heat? Also, do they put out a "cool" or a "warm" light? Thanks!

The package comes with two 250W halogen bulbs. The color temperature is warm. The bulbs generate a lot of heat. The metal reflectors are too hot to touch.

These lights do not put out enough light and they put out "hot" feeling which has tarnished the umbrella. I would never purchase any cowboy studio products again, as they are what they are "cheep". I would have rather spent more money on a product.Rick

They are VERY COOL they don't get hot like the regular bulbs. They also use about 80% less power. Joe

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.

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

The ones I received tended closer to white, I wouldn't call them "warm" but definitely not blue, I've used many different LED lights. I'd call them cool white.

No these lights put out very little heat at 12v, they are cool to the touch

Yes, as an LED light they hardly get even warm. No auto turn off, but none needed as far as I know.

I have not measured the heat output between the two bulbs and I have not had any heat problems. My guess on the heat would be the same or less. They are way brighter than the 24W bulb and I am happy with the light output.

The light gets warm but certainly not hot. I turned to full brightness and after an hour the heat was minimal. The rheostat allows you to diminish the brightness for use as a nightlight. I really like these, so much I ordered another. B.D.

No these lights run cool . You can almost handle them on during installation if you are attempting to determine the right position.

You can run 'em 24/7 if you need to. They get warm, but not hot. I'm guessing a bigger issue is that they (intentionally) put in some UV LEDs to simulate sunlight, so you may want to have UV absorbing glasses when working around the light.

They are pretty good lights. When they are running they are good. When you turn them off, they make slightcracking sounds. Warm covers cooling off is my theory. It doesn't last that long...

One of the previous answers said it well. Just wanted to add that I have 3 of these lights and give them 5 stars. They stay cool and emit a bright light. I use the table clamp-on hardware that came with them, but there are optional accessories for wall mount.

we did not find them overly bright. they are a nice warm light, but nontheless we put them on a dimmer from Home Depot that works for LED lights. We dont use the dimmer, but its there if we want it.

They get WARM, not hot. Usually exhaust fan hoods over stoves use halogens, which are very hot. LED's may not be bright enough if they fit.

Absolutely OK. They emit close to zero heat. You can grab the bulb with your bare hands even after it has been on and not get burned.

I have 60w bulbs in mine. They do give off a lot of heat, but didn't feel 40w would give us the light we needed in the area we have.
