Which parts are metal and which are plastic. Would anything melt if I mounted a speedlight on it?

If by 'speedlight' you mean a Nikon flash, it will be fine. It's a quality piece and has no trouble holding my camera and telephoto. As near as I can determine it is, for all practical purposes, of all metal construction.

The one that I have is all metal and glass. This is a battery powered light. I have a solar rechargeable for outside, it is plastic and glass. The descriptions were confusing when I made my purchases.

It was all metal housing. I returned it cause it didn't get hot enough. I wouldn't recommend this one ;(

Both the shoe on the cord and the part that connects to the camera's shoe are metal. The bottom part of the shoe (that attaches to whatever bracket you are using), unfortunately is plastic. While the flash is secure in the cord (metal on metal), unfortunately the risk is that the cord components could still break and let the speedlight fall (with the cord still attached) to the ground. That said, I did put it through it's paces at a recent wedding reception using an SB-900(910) speedlight (with the added weight of a large 'FlashBender') mounted to a flash bracket with no signs of failure or fatigue.

Metal on exterior and plastic interior. We've had this fixture for about 6 months and really like it (for the price). That said if you can afford $600 go for an all steel German version...

It's metal but more like aluminum. I tried using a magnet against it and it won't stick. The only plastic area is the clear acrylic end for the LED

The housing is plastic and the bracket is metal. The LED produces little heatso it is not a problem.

I believe the slidebar itself is metal. The end pieces are heavy plastic that mount with steel screws and anchors.Note, this is NOT a safety bar, and should not be used as such.

the one I bought is plastic, use for 6 months already very bright no problem. the clamp spring mount is kind of cheap but it work.

I cannot tell from the text whether you are asking "which is it, metal or plastic?" or "which metal and/or plastic is it?" I cannot answer the second, so will do my best with the first. It appears to be non-conductive paint or plastic over a metal shell. I measure electrical continuity between the added weight screw thread (between the elongated cartridge mount holes) and the rear connector mounting. The metal is not iron; it does not attract a magnet. I hope this helps.

The trim itself and the connecting wires are metal, not plastic. The lens is glass, also not plastic. My sense is any wattage limitation would be due to that of the recessed can, not this trim and lens. That said, I put 60 watt-equivalent LED bulbs in two. They work great.

lots of pre drilled and coated holes for mounting, minimal heat...it's a skinny little fluorescent tube ...it's an electronic appliance anything with electricity can cause a fire under less than optimal conditions... if worried about it maybe build a mount with metal and provide an airspace behind it... and mount to fire resistant material...but I personally believe neither to be necessary with this item... or the smaller hydrofarm 2 bulb fixture...

The spring steel clip that attaches to the head band or helmet attachment would rust in salt water . As far as the light housing itself there are no rust-able parts.

I used mine for a display at Salt Lake Community College. The body and barrel were metal, but the flash suppressor was plastic. I took out the functioning parts, used superglue to secure the parts that could be stolen, and had a wonderful replacement for the rubber gun shape that was there. The airsoft gun was metal in the right places, plastic in the right places, and looked real enough to scare the security officer at the school.

Chromed plastic. The internal wiring is terrible (looks like it was done by a 1st grader), and they use different thicknesses of wire inside. Lighter socket gave out in only a couple months.

It's made of metal. Not bad for the money. I've had mine for three month on my airsoft gun and is still dead on.yes I had to grind the mount to make it fit tight.
