Do these get hot to the touch? I am looking for a solution for the kids' room/floor.

No they are not hot to the touch.They also shut off when tipped to the side.

There is a hot spot on the front where the heat comes out. The best solution and less costly on electric is a real infrared heater. The cost is higher but they are not hot to the touch.

It does get pretty warm right where the heat comes out. I have touched it before, but it didn't burn me. It is still pretty warm tho.

This tape does keep heat in, but it does not reduce it to the touch. This would not be a safe solution for your curious kid!

No they don't get hot. I have microwaved these and other shapes and sizes of the same type, and no problems. I think they are realy nice looking and serviceable.

Only barely warm if you touch them. I do not perceive any heat buildup at all in an enclosed display.

I am sure they get hot. I bought LED bulbs on amazon and they work well and stay cool and are dimmable.

I think that depends slightly on the level of heat that you're using. I use them on an electric range, and if you crank it up to full, they can get a bit uncomfortable to handle. They don't burn you just by touching them, but you'd grab a towel or mitt before picking it up. Otherwise they don't get particularly hot, and I pick up the pan to stir things without any problems (even at about 3/4 heat, which is the highest I usually ever go).

I've only used them indoors in my fireplace. And they heat up the room nicely with no Cleanup! Outside, they might not do as well in the wind without some kind of metal backdrop to protect from the wind. (Just guessing)

These do get hot, but if you stay within the max wattage recommendations for your can lights you should be just fine. They will affect the room temp, but not enough to measure or feel unless you are within inches of the light.

Typically no. I use them in the microwave all the time and they do not overheat. The only time I've noticed them getting hot to the touch has been when I microwaved a bowl of water for five minutes to steam clean my microwave. That time the bowl got pretty hot and I needed to use a towel, but that's been the case with every bowl I've ever done that in.

I have two and never have had a problem, they get hot to the touch but that's expected, they r pretty safe i would say

Yes! Definitely gets hot to the touch. I was surprised because a number of reviewers indicated that it was only warm, etc.

they don't get very hot at all actually. In fact I would recommend getting a heating pad for seedlings so that they don't get too cold.

I think so they do get extremely hot so you might have to hold them up a little. I've never tried it.

Yes they do get hot to sit beneath. I recommend LEDs and they should work fine.

there is absolutely no danger (in my opinion) these do not get hot, even after being on for hours, you can touch them without any fear of burning yourself much less the wooden cabinets, i am using a 12volt driver/transformer

Hot enough to curl your hair but not so hot that you can't handle them safely. I wouldn't advise young children to play with them. There is a metal bar that runs through the heating system on which the curlers rest to heat up which will be hot enough that you won't want to touch it. Hope that helps!

They do get very hot, hotter than most I've used but that's why they work well.
