do these bulbs burn hot? any impact on the wiring harness?

I use these as high beams so they don't ever burn very long. Haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. Nice white look and bright.

They are 65 watt, same as the original, and do not operate any hotter than original. I have had no problems using this series bulbs on either of my vehicles. They do operate in a different wavelength band thus giving them the whiter / brighter appearance.

Good question. In my experience with these, they get hot enough where you would not be able to touch them. We have about 16 of these under the kitchen cabinets and if I wanted to removed one, I would need a cloth to pull one out if it were lit. These get as hot as te Philips bulbs I used to purchase from home depot

Yes, they are. That's why I'd really recommend LED bulbs for this fixture. I was also worried about the heat at first but then, my LED bulbs have been working great. Haven't experienced bad yet.

shouldn't be any problem. They are standard bulbs. I still have my old bulb from an older hood.

These are not made for use with hot (incandescent) bulbs. Only use fluorescent bulbs (or maybe LED bulbs in the future).

They put out a little less heat than standard lights of the same wattage. I would think that the worst that would happen if the fan failed would be failure of the led. Yes they do plug into the stock harness.

We like the lighting system very much but the extreme heat of the bulbs has become problematic. I'm going to take the spare replacement bulb that came with the lighting unit to my local hardware store and have them look at the bulb and advise me. If you or anyone else can come up with a more definitive answer, please let me know also. Thanks.

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 think that question has more to do with the switch/bulb. These are hard-wired.

I would assume that the issue is total load on the device (the internal wires are very small) and perhaps a heat concentration issue for incandescent bulbs. I would also think that LEDs would be OK.

I'm just a homeowner and not an expert. It sounds though like you're concerned about heat build-up from the bulb. It's my understanding that these bulbs create negligible heat. and a cut-out would be more than enough.

I haven't had a problem with heat. The CFL bulbs never get too hot. I've used mine for hours at a time with no problem.

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.

They do not get hot only slightly warm. Easily handled with your bare hand. LED's do not generate heat. I asked one of my techies sons how that works and they said it is two metal plates, germanium and something else. when they apply current to one of the plates, it causes electons to jump to the other releasing energy in the form of light without heat. I love these bulbs, they are brighter and use about ten percent of the current than the bulbs I replaced. I plan to replace every incandescent bulb in my home.

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.

I am sure they get hot. I bought LED bulbs on amazon and they work well and stay cool and are dimmable.
