will this overheat and burn up if it's not in the water? 250,000 candle power?

I use these on my kayak and love them. I wouldn't use them outside the water for any length of time because it will get very hot and the glass tube it is encased in might easily crack.

Yes, do not turn it on before it is in they water and shut it off before it comes out of the water

Not always, would burn it up. I do leave it plugged up sometimes when I use it if power gets low with no problem.

NO! In an enclosed space, it will overheat & burn out almost immediately. The 75-watt & lower bulbs will work, however.

from my experience, it should not be used out of the water as the halogen bulb produces too much heat and will melt the plastic housing

300 Watt can heat a larger fish tank. Be careful not to drop it as it has a thin glass tube that the water travels through and it will crack and leak if you do drop it.

I'm sure it could be but it may be running non-stop all night to keep up with the demand . I don't think that it would be good to overwork it being that it's an electrical product submerged in water even with a GFIC protected outlet .

No, you will definitely overheat the bottom of the oil/water holder if you use a votive.

I would recommend using them when there is no wind. We used half one night when there was a breeze and they came very close to some trees. When we used the rest there was no breeze and they went straight up. Once the fuel is burnt they will begin to come down. My only concern was ours had thin metal rods holding the candle and that could cause problems for wildlife. There are others that have bamboo sticks that I will definitely use in the future.

I would think it would overpower it and make it overheat. That's a better question for the manufacturer. Wouldn't want to give you the wrong advice. Sorry that wasn't much help!!!

Yes. It depends on how long it is on. It is not burning hot on low but it is still hot but not enought that your gonna get burn.

Yes, but it is not an industrial model, so it will overheat with long-time continuous use.

not really. ONly thing to consider is the way the wind is blowing and how hard. Lantern will burn it self out as long as it is able to rise up over the trees.

Seems like it SHOULD work as long as the build is protected in water tight enclosure. It is not a bright as a regular incandescent, but it is cooler and should be bright enoughespecially for dim lighting conditions. Don't drop the remote control in the water.

Yes, but it will also burn anything around the twine like old straw or hay, so use your judgment. It is very hot over a small area.

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

I don't think the plastic head would take much heat. Therefore I would say don't keep it near flame or heat source.

Hello. If there is some ventilation there should be no problem. But using a complete sealed fixture (like IP65), this could overheat the bulb. Your technolamp Team.
