How hot do these get? I'm wnt to connect a ground wire &amp; 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.

Basically the answer is no, it won't get hot enough. These were designed for melting lead for bullets and fishing weights. Pewter can be melted as well.

I put one in my 2014 Jeep Wrangler and its from axle back. It rely sounds hot.

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.

I can't say for sure. It should say on the package or you can call the manufacturer. I use it on copper and it works fine. I don't believe it gets so hot that it would melt pvc.

They do not get hot. But they do require a transformer which may get hot. I am using them in a kitchen exhaust hood which already had a transformer built in.

NO They are made of rubber so they do not get hot. They are actually very flexible, easy to install. Really love them.

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.

If the corrosion is down into the wire, it causes heat buildup at the end and melts the box and/or fuse. My cable from the alternator was doing this. I left the harness in place for the dry and ran a length of 4ga welding cable from the alternator to the fuse box. Had to open up the cable inlet a bit on the box with a Dremel. Make sure you insult ate the ends.

You can certainly put something warm (or even relatively hot) on it, but the plastic will melt if comes in contact with hot metal. I know from experience, because I have a marred corner from letting it touch a stove burner.

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.

Yes you can. It's metal so no worry about melting plastic. Can either put both sides in with them closed together or just one in and the other out to allow for faster cooling.

I have had mine installed for more than a year, maybe two and I have had know issues. I have not gone back and read the reviews that you may be referring two, but if wired correctly it should not melt.

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 fairly durable and hard plastic, I have not tried to use them on something that is currently hot but I am pretty sure as long as you don't let it just sit there then you should be fine.

these are your best bet because you can use a lower (heavier duty) "awg or gage" wire dirrectly to the connection/metal of the connector- deffinitely a plus for ease and efficiency of use and installation, most importantly you dont have to worry about splicing in to the flimsy thin wire on all the others available. solderless connectors like these are fullproof while other "style" connectors can be shady sometimes. ive used these 110 and dc and in a car using the battery directly

I use one of these to switch my 240v AC since it doesn't have a temperature sensor on it. Works great, but be cautious about how much power you draw through it. Without the additional heatsink (sold separately of course) it can get hot enough to begin melting the plastic casing around it. I thought I was well within the limits without a heatsink but after a year noticed some slight deformation of the plastic. Doesn't hurt to be safe and get the additional heatsink.
