Has anyone experienced the master control getting hot on the back/side metal? You can touch it but it seems like this would be fire hazard. LEDs?

They are built hefty with thick aluminum to transfer some of the heat so not much chance of fire. Likely millions sold and not one fire to my knowledge, if there was you'd be seeing a huge class action suit.

It will not overheat as LEDS produce a lot less heat. They use 1/10th the electricity and produce a little more than 1/10 the heat.

Where did you see they were suitable for totally enclosed luminaries? I don't see that anywhere. The heatsinks on them get too hot to touch. These are my first LED bulbs, and from what I've read some get hot and some don't. So I don't know if that is going to affect them; being on all the time, or being totally enclosed. I don't see how the plastic globe part of them doesn't melt unless it's some kind of high-temp plastic.

Mine are quite warm, but burning hot. My touch control always works. Can you measure the temperature on the surface of the light? You may want to complain to the seller and request a replacement if your temperature is over 66C (150F) that I measured on my functional lamp.

All LEDs will have some heat but nothing to hot to touch and I haven't had any smell, maybe just the adhesive. It should go away.

I had the same problem. I noticed a small drip stain on the LED cover. Cleaned it with a little Windex on a rag. Now works perfectly.

I have had the LED light for several months now and it does not get hot, i.e. causing pain if touched. The low wattage creates very little heat.

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.

I combined enough 2' sections to back light 18, continuous feet above my kitchen cabinets and control from a single power source and remote controller. I've not noticed any excessive heat on the transformer from extra sections. I can't say however, if there is less lumens due to the additional load as I dim the contoller to the max for muted lighting. My advice is lay the connected sections out on the floor to test. I have LED lighting above and below my cabinets and couldn't be happier! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of this lighting. Good luck. John

I have the same question. Looks like the lights are gone with out notice. In fact I thought it's not working since there to light, but looks OK afterwards. What is disturbing is that as an owner of old model I was not aware of the missing lights...

From what I have experienced the top wire connector underneath at the top are not very good I believe the bottom is for the pilot ignighter so it is not as critical, the top is the sensor which is very critical and wants to shut the unit down due to loss of voltage I haven't taken mine apart yet to fix them so for now I just push the wire on as i release the pilot button.

Whenever using ANY power supply, there is always gonna be some warmth/heat coming from the unit regardless of whats connected to it. This is perfectly normal. Now if its HOT to the touch, that is not good. Replace immediately. Hope this helps. Be safe ....Chris.

No temp. control. Turn the switch on, wait a few seconds, hold the button down, then 10 seconds later it's probably 450F or more (my solder melts at 380F). I think it may get hotter than that, but you can't set or control it.

It sounds to me like you have problems with the receiver board. Does the red led on the receiver board burn steady, or does it remain flashing AFTER BINDING? Also, are all the electrical plugs pushed firmly into their sockets on top of the receiver board? Just a couple of suggestions that you might check on (if you haven't already done so).

It does get very hot if you keep the halogen bulbs and you get the overheated metal smell after a hour or so. I swapped them for LED bulbs which were available at home depot. The chandelier stays cool to the touch and it does not make much of a visual difference though the LED bulbs stick out a bit.

Sorry not sure what you are asking - color temp.? the color is white & since it is LED it is not hot. If that helps?
