Can I use such a LED strip (to replace old incandescent bulbs) for a gas cooking range lighting? Will they stand the heat?

would not recommend. They will likely short out secondary to heat and moisture.

No, they are Compact Fluorescent Lighbulbs, similar to the ones you have in your home. Those don't get hot at all. They are not incandescent lights.

I use them in the range hood with a high/low switch. No problem there. When the dimmer is all the way down, they should appear off unlkke an incadesant bulb where the filament will still have a slight glow.

dear adam...we use them in the kitchen on a dimmer...the package does not say one way or the other...we have no problems with dimming them....the only drawback is they do burn hot and they burn out rather quickly...paying more for the led bulbs might be more cost effective in the long run....they last a long time and do not burn hot...hope this helps

Sorry that I don't have the lamps here to check, but there are perfect led replacements available, and they are great - no heat at all and high quality light. The size and socket shape are distinctive and pretty much eliminate any choices, so you can't really go wrong.

we have placed 60 watt incandescent bulbs in our fixture. 60 watt with candelabra base can be a bit difficult to find. They work fine so far; no evidence of overheating of the fixture. However, we have been using them only a few weeks, so I cannot comment on long term use.

I would disagree (about them working). I have 24 volt LEDs and they work on 12 volts so it follows that a 12 volt LED strip would work on 6 volts. It will be dimmer/not as bright. That might be acceptable/might not. With my 24 volt LEDs, I was using them for illuminating a sandblasting cabinet so they were rather dim and inadequate for that application.

These cannot take ANY heat. I purchased them for my landscape lighting, 50 watt halogen, and they began to melt almost immediately. I'm not really sure what they ARE good for. Hope this helps.

I'm just a homeowner and not an expert. It sounds though like you're concerned about heat build-up from the bulb. It's my understanding that these bulbs create negligible heat. and a cut-out would be more than enough.

I don't see why that would be a problem. They aren't like florescent bulbs that need to stay warm or take forever to warm up if they're cold. LED's don't care much about ambient temperature.

I put a thermal probe on the glass face of a 50W GU10 incandescent and it went over 200F, but reads around 110F on the plastic face of this LED one. It may be a bit hotter in back, but not much. You can easily touch and change a lit LED bulb, but don't mess with a 50W.

Hi, These are very poor quality LED strip, I just bought there to replaced it. "DC 12V 5M 16.4 ft 300 LED Non Waterproof 5050 SMD Flexible LED Light Lamp Strip 60led/meter (5050, Day White)" !! These are much brighter and the color are daylight where the one you asked are too warm! Also their uniformity are much better, have 3M double sided tape so you can stick it to your tank!!!!

I stripped back about 1/8" and soldered wires directly to the pads. You can also solder stiff square wire so you can use the plugs available for them. Now if your asking how long a strip of LEDs you can use. It really does not make a difference providing you have the proper power source and do not exceed the specifications of these led's.

I would have to say the light coverage would be every bit as good as any other type of bulb in a recessed light fixture. The lights are only warm to the touch, so there would not be any heating issue.

yes,..........you must change the bulbs for led. Because they will be very hot and can smell like wire that are burning.

If you mean normal incandescent 100 watt bulbs, of course not. I would assume you could use the same type fluorescent bulbs that come with the unit as they do not produce much heat. The key would be in the heat output of the bulbs. Normal bulbs would melt the covers, the fluorescent bulbs should not have any wattage limit as they should remain cool.

I use them with an LED strip light (under-cabinet type), and it works like a charm. No flickering at all.
