Do the lights generate a lot of heat during the prolong use?

I have found no heat is generated from these lights. Very pleased with my purchase

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.

I haven't had the problem of overheating that PeteM described. I have two of the Green LongLife fixtures mounted on the wall above my wife's and my bed in our trailer. We have had them running almost continuously since I installed them more than five months ago. We chose the Green LongLife 9090110 fixture over the Gold Star GW21500 because the Green fixture shields the "bulb" from shining directly in your eyes while it appears that the Gold Star doesn't - something I consider to be a major consideration for a reading light.

No generally LEDs do not produce heat anything like an incandescent, but I am using them in motion sensing outdoor fixtures that are enclosed in glass, they stay on for 5-10 minutes at a time generally but they will be fine in most applications and not get very hot, I have all sorts of LEDs installed besides these in use outdoors I have PAR 35 flood lights and several indoors that have not been a problem at all.

No these are consider a cool light source and make it much more pleasant to work with. The lamp housing may get a little warm but quickly cools off when the lights are turned off.

Yes, the housing around the light gets hot. There is a handle on each fixture to adjust that doesn't get hot.

I find them to be fairly warm. I wouldn't characterize them as the harsher white that some of the LEDs have.

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.

Yes. The one time I had it on a long time it did get hot and had too cool down before it would re-light.

They do get very hot and sometimes the off road lights I have them wired to don't work

I've got it set up with 3 - 400 watt lights (1200 watt total) and it keeps them pretty cool. You shouldn't have any issue.

I use them under my counters, they do get hot if left on all day, but not to the cabinets. The light fixtures themselves will start to fall apart.

From what I can tell so far, when running continuous on high, the battery only last around an hour. But that probably isnt real accurate. My uses are on and off a lot. I dont usually run it for more than a few minutes at a time. I do know that this light does get hot to the touch when its been on for an extended period of time.

I have several of these installed in small cans in the kitchen. Heat is not an issue; you can touch/handle the bulbs even without turning the circuit off, as they produce considerably less heat than their incandescent or halogen predecessors.

I've installed a dozen of these in 4" recessed Halo-brand fixtures with trim (H99 is the Halo Model number). There have been no overheating problems (the fixtures have a heat sensor and turn off if they overheat). I think the LED bulbs don't get nearly as hot as Halogen bulbs.

Due to it's 600 lumens it does get pretty hot. Usually I do not leave it on long or keep hand around the bezel. Only to temporarily subdue the intensity do I have hand there.

The halogen bulbs get very hot and use lots of electricity. Led bulbs get slightly warm and are very energy efficient.
