There are complaints that the green LED version is actually incandescent bulb and it gets hot and burns out quickly. Can you confirm that? If so, do you plan to make a LED version soon as energy efficiency is important for my use case.

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

I'm sorry to answer when in truth I don't know what you're talking about. However, you mention LED, and I have a fan now that suggested using a fluorescent bulb, but I put in an LED, and I've had no problem. The trick seems to be to put in the right size, or a small enough bulb plus the right wattage, so it fits. Either type bulb saves energy, but the LED avoids the mercury, and it is the newer technology, plus there is no delay in getting full light, when turning it on. As for this particular model, I don't see why a correctly sized LED, and some kind of night light would not work, as bulbs.

I use a 60W equivalent LED bulb and it's been working great. It doesn't heat up or anything so I'd really recommend it. Plus, the bulb's brightness is sufficient but very relaxing for the eyes, at the same time.

Hi, Wanted to let you know like all new LED lights its hit and miss I think we've only had one bad but it happened almost immediately I cant give you an hour length because with all LED lights it just depends on how well the bulb was done.That being said they last a long time for the price.

Though I didn't actually measure the watts draw I would estimate they draw considerable less power than a normal bulb and puts out plenty of light and also very little heat. Led,s use so little power anyway, it's just a matter of just finding one that is a decent price while performing about as well as a standard incandescent bulb. Color, light output, price, and heat output, would be the most important things to look for.

The LED will actually perform better the colder it gets. But heat on the other hand can reduce the efficiency and lifespan or in some cases even burn out an LED lacking a proper heatsink.

I see no reason why a LED especially would not work in this device. Incandescent may get a bit hot, but it is built rather well and may hold up to them. It is made of a strong but semi flexible plastic (not the hard plastic found on many lamps or even the ceramic, that work with incandescent), and that may melt under the heat need from an incandescent. for short runs it would probably be fine but to be left on for hours you may have an issue.

I replaced an incandescent with a cree bulb in a lamp with a shade. My wife hates new technology and would not let me use CFLs and was looking out for any more high tech moves by me. She did not notice that I had replaced the incandescent with LED and still has not.... a year later. VICTORY! I have the cree bulb in lamps with shades all over the house. The most noticeable difference is that the cree does not generate as much heat as the incandescents did. Nice in the Summer.

I am sorry that I, as an ordinary consumer/user, do not have A QUANTATIVE ANSWER for your question. However, by comparing this 'new LED' light bulb to the 4-WATT 'old incandescent' light bulbs we used before, its light output is BRIGHTER AND WHITER. I hope you are satisfied with MY QUALITATIVE ANSWER.

There is a website listed on the product page. You can also use Amazon's site to contact the seller if you bought it on Amazon. I've had excellent performance from the led white lights bulb I used to replace a 500 Watt incandescent, saving both power and giving off far less heat.

I am useing the flat lightbulb shaped LED bulbs in mine and have had no issues. They are cooler and brighter and it is noticable. The other bulbs were very hot, expensive and delicate.

I don't remember having an internal heat problem with them but I've swapped them all out for this LED bulb: Lighting EVER 10 Watt A19 LED Bulb, 60 Watt Incandescent Bulbs Replacement, 830lm, Samsung chip LED, Daylight White. This LED bulb offers the best trade off in price, wattage and amount of light in my opinion. But you have to be someone who likes Daylight White.

Yes. However, the bulb shown above here is an incandescent bulb. I'd suggest switching to an LED bulb as it will last maybe 100x longer and use 1/10 the energy. Look for a style with an LED mounted up in the globe and that operates with 7-10 Lumens of warm white light. There are also some with frosted globes which might look even more like a warm incandescent bulb. LED's are initially much more expensive but will be far less over time both in life span and energy use.

Yes. It's actually nice. Just a suggestion, tho: I'd really recommend that you use an LED bulb for this lamp since it doesn't heat up. Also, using a 40W equivalent LED Globe bulb worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very relaxing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient. Hope it helps (Pack of 4) G25 LED Bulb 6W, Warm white, 3000K, 40W Globe Bulb Incandescent Replacement, clear Cover, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

I purchased Cree LED light bulbs at Home Depot which seemed to solve the problem. Apparently these bulbs are more efficient (lumens per watt), which implies to me less heat is being generated. These bulbs are also cast a more diffused light that other LED bulbs. Note that LED can lights are designed for the can enclosure, which is not true for LED light bulbs. Someone mentioned dimmers not working. I have found out that the dimmer needs to specify that it will work with LED lights to work properly.

The previous responder didn't really answer your question. I, too, am concerned with color temperature, but have been unable to find out what it is for this bulb. However, LEDs typically have CRIs in the 65-85 range. Because the color temp of this bulb is 2700, my guess is that it would be at the upper end of that range. . . about 80. To get closer to the color temp of an incandescent, you'd have to find an LED with a 2500 or lower temp. Good luck; I've encountered only ONE with that temp (at Lowe's) and it wasn't the wattage I wanted.

Yes, LED do not get hot. When you touch the bulb, it cool feeling. Incandescent do get very hot! Highly recommend LED!
