I have a cord set from IKEA with warning: "Standard bulb E26 Max 75W". Are these bulbs too hot for this set?

Yes, these bulbs shown are 85 watts which is over the power limit. These brand of bulbs are also made in 65 watts, so those would be ok.

Not at all!! They were a bit bright for my bedside lamp and I actually have plastic yellow tail light (automotive type) lens repair tape wrapped entirely around both bulbs. Don't if it is recommended or not but it works great. Also, I work graveyard shift and leave the lamp lit all night long while at work. I can actually hold the bulb after several hours of illumination and they are only slightly warm but never too hot to hold. Should be no problem whatsoever.

Hello Patricia. I have an overhead kitchen light fixture that used to eat regular incandescent bulbs in a matter of a few months, then compact fluorescent bulbs also in a matter on a few months. I have two of these LED bulbs and they run much cooler. Be aware that they are not as bright but the glass enclosure does not get hot. I barely even gets warm. My answer is Yes.

If u don't buy sony then yhe housing will overheat the bulb. It's not the bulbs fault it's the housing on the cheap bulbs. Hope this helps

They are very good, but they are also very sensitive. My bulbs are already out. You could buy replacement bulbs through ephotoinc.com though.

A higher wattage bulb would void the warranty. The heat might melt the plastic. carlights4less

I had the same issue where all the original bulbs blew out in a month. I shopped around a bit for finding a good replacement and home depot, lowes, Ikea all have them fairly cheap. It uses the G4 halogen bulb. Hope this helps.

It works with IKEA's E26 dimmable 10W 600 lumen bulb, but both the dimmer and bulb buzz slightly. It'll probably drive me nuts over time. (I can't hear it over my typing this though.) The bulb is buzzing slightly louder than the dimmer.

No, please do not throw your money away on these bulbs. The ones i purchased did not last a week. Plug in part overheated and burnt up.

Buy 60 watt bulbs, Lumens, from GE, not the spiral fluorescent (Ikea) because they are longer and show clearly. I'm 5' 6" and the GE bulbs cannot be seen.

LED bulbs should have no problems working down to 0F (-18C). As to the higher temperature, 100F (38C) is not a big deal for any consumer-grade products. Plus you probably won't use the light during a hot sunny day, anyway.

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.

Melted wow lol are you using the reccomended bulbs? I have two running 12hrs a day with uvb 5.0 fluorescent compacts bulbs (26W each) and no problem.

I found on the internet that the +C may mean the bulb is coated to reduce heat to the fixture.. if that's the case then consider that these bulbs are only 3W, and produce very little heat.. make your own decision from there....

The sticker on the outside says "E26 MAX 60W". We put in a standard bulb and it works fine; we've had the chandelier for a few months and love it!

I wouldn't recommend, this is an 85 w bulb, a great product though, I have bought several
