Does the unit get hot? Some people seems to indicate it does but mine is just barely warm and certainly not enough to burn, All the lights are on

Mine get warm but should never get hot! The light should be on and there are some that look off, but they are the ones not visible to the human eye.

The housing doesn't really get hot, but the unit should be suspended slightly above the floor to direct heat where it is needed. IR light does not heat the air, but will heat objects within the line of sight several feet away. Heat Storm makes a "roll cage" for floor use of this light.

Mine does not run hot. I am using all LED floods, 3 watt each, so probably not even 100 W for me. I changed from 20 Watt halogens in each of my lights, so significant reduction in draw on the transformer. I don't remember what it was like before.

I would return it, my wife tells me that hers doesn't get HOT. Warm like any other lighted fixture, but not hot.

I don't think that that sounds right.With mine, there is no light on the unit unless I turn it on with the remote. At that time the red light on the unit comes on and my lights come on. When I turn it off with the remote, my lights and the red indicator go off.I hope that that is of some help

Yes mine is warm to the touch. The plug going into the outlet is not warm at all. Mine has been pluged in since april..so 10 months. It really works great. The second the power went off it started up....

I too haven't had any issues. There are heat settings that you can adjust. If it doesn't heat up, you may have a defective unit.

Turn up the heat... It sounds like its not hot enough... I run mine as hot as I can get it.

Mine is hot too since I started to use it. I have to unplug it when I don't use it.

Terri, No, the unit does not get hot to the touch. However, you wouldn't want a child or pet being able to get close to the heater as the front-facing air flow is very hot. I have mine mounted on the under shelf of a workbench (where my legs and feet are when I'm working) and it does an excellent job of keeping me warm in an otherwise, unheated space.

I have two of these and they are my only source of heat. My light bills has been fairly average or lower compared to when the furnace kicked on all day. Hope this helps

The light doesn't generate heat. Do you have rom for the small power transformer.

yes it does get hot, but once turned off it will cool down fairly quick. The thermostat on these units may have some variance so you'll want to play with the settings to get it just the way you like it. I've even left mine in foor an additional cycle (it beeps when its supposedly done), just to get the crispness I wanted. Also, don't oil the plates 'til it gets up to temp, (it beeps), otherwise the oil from the top plate drips to the bottom plate and you mave have a little sticking from the top plate.

Thank you for your inquiry. Please make sure that the hot water switch on the back of the unit is turned on. It light will remain lit until it reaches the appropriate temperature.

Yes. If you check the control unit from time to time you'll see it's sometimes hot and sometimes just a little warm. This is how they work...when they work. You'll be fine!
