Does it Produce Heat and burn the housing if the housing is small ?

In my experience they do not produce any more heat than the OE blubs. I've been very satisfied with them.

I don't have the issue with the housing so I wouldn't be able to assess the problem.

I have only had the H11s in for a couple months now, and no issues with excessive heat or any other problems. They work just fine.

Not sure how to answer this but I will try. Yes, all halogen bulbs produce heat. If the housing your putting these bulbs in are designed for the H11 bulb, then the heat will not melt the housing.

No. It's small and doesn't generate alot of heat. Just gentle heat to get seeds started.

It comes on instantly and puts out a good amount of heat but will not heat a large area. It is good for a small room and would be good in a camper. It has no blower or fan so I guess you call it radiant heat. It has swing low, low, off, high, swing high and it will not work if it is not sitting straight on the floor as it has a safety button on the bottom so if it falls it cuts off.

Yes, as far as I know, it does. However, I have used it in my van. It's pretty small. I crack a window and just use it long enough to to heat something. I don't leave it unattended.

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.

No, it wouldn't heat our 1.5 car garage. And, it was loud and the fan broke the day the warranty expired, then it burnt up. Was junk..

Yes, the housing does get hot. But we have placed it on our wood deck floor with no problem. I wouldn't leave it in a small enclosed place, or right up against a wall or corner, but in the open on the deck it's been fine. (But I haven't left it out there for more than 1-2 hours so far) I also would not want it around children.

The coil gets hot on high but at lower temps, it doesn't radiate heat. Base is quite small so not a problem.

The housing does get warm, but not uncomfortably so. To pick up or move it is a non issue. I think that you could burn yourself with it but you would have to lay on it or you on it, to burn yourself (you would have to be really stupid)...but it would not be like a branding iron but more like a bit overly hot heating pad.

I am not sure what small means. A few inches of clearance is all that is needed. It is thermostat controlled, so it should not overheat the space.

Yes. The exterior is slightly warm on the bottom, but not enough to heat up whatever is underneath.

Yes it does produce heat. Enough so that if it is sitting on a dining table and you were sitting at the table you would feel it. It is not enough to heat a room though. The fuel burns up somewhat quickly so it is not the solution for heating. MIT creates fabulous ambiance though.

The unit does generate a little heat, as it is an electric item, but not much heat. It has small vents on the sides and back. Saying all of that, I would leave some room on all sides if you plan to enclose it. But to be sure, call Panasonic and ask them about your idea.

I've used it on its highest setting and when I do, it doesn't take longer than about 10 minutes to cool down. With that said, the housing can get very hot. The top can get hot enough to burn you if it's on full blast.

I do not think so. It generates off heat coming from below (like sitting on a wood burning stove).

It does get hot, I would suggest a small fan and vent like on a computer tower

We have never had a problem with this unit producing heat. And we actually own two of them--one in my son's room and one in my father's studio apartment.Neither of them have generated any noticeable heat but they work like a charm to keep the air clean!
