Should I leave the sticker with the label on the bulb? Can it melt or catch fire?

I removed the sticker as it stands to reason that it may not only melt but could reduce or alter the light output resulting in a dimmer picture

If it's on the housing, it should be fine. I didn't take anything off. If it's actually on the clear surface over the bulb, I'd remove it.

Mine had a soft foam sleeve as well that had to be removed before turning on the light. There was no plastic on the bulb! Could some small pieces of the foam packaging could have stuck to the bulb and melted?

You can on low heat settings and don't leave it on there. Otherwise you'll melt it.

I think that it would be a risk. We have not used them yet they were purchased for Christmas. They are made of plastic that I would fear would melt if the bulbs were a higher watt. Hope this helps

On mine,the shade also gets hot as the bulb warms it. This may be due to the fact that there is metal surrounding the plastic. I do see that on mine that the entire base that plugs into the wall is NOT WAR OR HOT. I also see that there is no burning of the plastic sheathing under the metal shade. I leave mine on, day and night. Please call the manufacturer if you have a concern and let them know what you are or are not noticing. Best Wishes!

I don't think you can. However, I wouldn't do, I would not like to get shocked/electrocuted, fall off the latter, wake up in the hospital and find out the bulb burned out. Hope this helps.

Good Morning Robyn,These lamps are halogen lamps which would get hot enough to melt or heat up oil. As long as the fixture has an approved rating for these kind of lamps then we would recommend it. If the it is not please know that some fixtures are made with consideration to heat tolerances particularly to the lamp operating temperature. Installing a lamp that operated at a high temperature than originally designed can be dangerous.

I too have an Advantium but only use the plate cover with microwave. It is plastic so heat from bulbs would melt it I think.

I also experienced a problem with this light. I had two and both melted. It is a very pretty light but not worth what might happen. Check lamps plus they have a similar model.

One last point. When you handle the lamp do not touch the bulb itself. The oil from your fingers can cause an uneven heat distribution on the glass which has been known to break the glass at temperature. Suggest you use surgical gloves.

Yes, I believe it would be safe as long as common(sense) safety is used with a heating product. Note, you cannot see the flame. You can only see the ceramic glow in the darkness. The version I had had a cover when not in use. I made it a habit to let every one know that if this cover is off, assume it's hot. My biggest concern is stability. If it's in cramped conditions, I would avoid using this product unless you can ensure it won't get knocked over. I have secured mine in the center of an old plastic milk crate to give it a wider base. That being said, this is the Boy Scouts. Why do they need a heater? ;-) We never used heater in Boy Scouts. It was all about campfires and long johns. Yes, I believe it would be safe as long as common(sense) safety is used with a heating product. Note, you cannot see the flame.

I have not measured the temperature after the light being continuously on for a long time, but there is a plastic shroud over the electrical terminals. If the light gets too hot it will melt the shroud. I hope that will not happen.

I am not a safety expert. The bulbs are big, so if it fits, the decision basis would be similar to a normal, non CF 18 Watt bulb --- from a heat dissipation perspective.

You would have to leave it there a while for it to burn. If you just touch it, you'll be ok.

My husband uses this lamp and he said NO it does not get hot. If you are worried abt. fire go to dollar store & get a metal serving tray & put it underneath.Good luck, Janet

I wouldn't unless you're just using it for candle packaging. A lit candle would melt it. I use mine for baked goods.
