Does this light produce heat at all? I want to use it for a craft and dont want it to get too warm- thanks!

The bulb itself is a little hot to the touch if held for a few seconds but it's not as hot as a typical light bulb. With the shade on heat can barely be felt on the outside of the shade.

Yes. It gets warm. The shade helps but it's like any other little night light bulb. Try to find and LED one if heat is an issue.

I believe it needs visible light, it works under fairly low light conditions (as in like winter light or late day light) but I don't think it would work with heat.

We had it one for about an hour during a power outage and it generated very little heat. It is a nice little light for the money.

Let me start out saying you bought the right light its awesome quality and durability. As for heat no this light produces minimal heat. You can hold the bulb. When its on that is how minimal it is

No, not at all. I have used the lamp and radio featre continuously for over 1 1/2 hours and did not notice any heat emitting from it.

I'm not sure of your warm or cool light. They are LED lights which do not give off heat. We have three of them mounted in a small vanity area and we love the light they give off. Putting on make-up or shaving is wonderful with these lights.

The lights I got already had the tape on the back of the light. It does not get very hot. Just warm to the touch.

Not at all, here in Dominican Republic it gets really hot sometimes and I have turned this lights on with temperatures over 95 degrees at working construction area's, I highly recommend this..

I wouldn't recommend it. It puts off light, but gets really hot. I bought it to use with a light box and it doesn't work well for that.

It doesn't get hot.... but I woudnt keep it plugged in all the time. The cord may over heat more than the light itself.

It seems to be about that. I use mine for my porch light and it has been working in temps as low as 40 below. I have a 60w equivalent also and it seem about right too. This has the soft white color so it has the incandescent color.

I've found that it does not produce much heat at all. Mine is on an open deck so the heat rises into the air. It might feel warmer if placed under some type of covered area which would trap the heat nearer the ground, it is a beautiful affect but not warming.

It is definitely too warm to touch directly without using the chain, but not sure it would significantly raise the temperature of a small area. That being said though, I'd still recommend this lamp to anyone. It is absolutely outstanding!!!!!

Brittany, sorry about the slow response time, I bought this item for my Grand daughter and we set it up last Christmas, this item is battery powered and doesn't generate heat at all from what I can tell, I believe the lights are LED so they are very cool.

Interesting question. I don't think it gets that hot by "adult standards", but for a child, maybe a little too hot. It's a great little light though!

It only provides heat. The waz it works is that there is a heating element - wires that get red hot when the lamp is turned on - and on top of the heating element there is a black plate of something that is covering the plate. When the heating elements gets hot it heats the plate immediately above it and the plate then gets hot and radiates heat towards the part of my body it faces. No visible light is emitted by the final black plate, and as it blocks the heating plate, no light is visible.

I finally figured this out! I've gotten this question so many times, I hope it helps. To answer straight off, yes, I can feel heat from a few inches away. It's not burning hot, just mild, but does get warmer the longer you keep your hand there. The bulb is 6400K. I now use this for many things. Seed germination, photo lighting, happy mood and for work lighting. Makes the seeds grow and me feel great!
