Do these lights get hot when inside wine bottles? I bought a set at a craft store and they get real hot in the bottles.

I have no idea? I put ping pong balls on mine. I don't think the got overly hot. You might want to try putting them on a timer to lessen the length of time they're on.

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

Yes they do. Don't leave them in hot environment or they melt. They work really well.

These are LED lights and do not produce much heat at the lens (e.g. cool to the touch). Regarding the housing, I would ensure some minimum air circulation to dissipate heat vs. tightly enclosed, but there is very little heat output.

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..

Yes the case gets hot: you can only hold on to it for 3 seconds. But this is not high enough temperature to ignite wood. I have 5 of these under wood kitchen cabinets and have had no problems. They are powered from 12vdc supply which I checked to be right on the rated voltage. Just be careful that your supply is no more than 12vdc because you would run the lights hotter!

Yes, they will give hot. However, it depends on how long you have it turned on. It doesn't immediately get hot.

Where did you see they were suitable for totally enclosed luminaries? I don't see that anywhere. The heatsinks on them get too hot to touch. These are my first LED bulbs, and from what I've read some get hot and some don't. So I don't know if that is going to affect them; being on all the time, or being totally enclosed. I don't see how the plastic globe part of them doesn't melt unless it's some kind of high-temp plastic.

Yes, they don't put out much heat. I put them underneath some shelves to get more light over a wash sink where I clean my hands after coming in from the shop. Lights it up quite nicely.

No, the neat thing about these is they are CFL lights set to the color temperature of daylight--so they do NOT give off the heat of regular incandescent bulbs!!

They are Halogen; so they get pretty hot. I use them for interior lighting in an RV. They each have a glass cover due to the heat.

Mine get warm but should never get hot! The light should be on and there are some that look off, but they are the ones not visible to the human eye.

Im sorry. I've only used them with wine bottles. I'm very happy with them for wine and that is the reason I purchased them. Sorry I can't be more help.

We use these in our office, and they get pretty bright. In a crafting area, they should be great. They do get quite warm, though.

Yes, they get too hot to touch. That's why they have the rod with the small ball on the end to adjust the direction of the lamp.

Yes they do produce heat. You decide based upon how much light you want/need.

Good Morning Robyn,These lamps are halogen lamps which would get hot enough to melt or heat up oil. As long as the fixture has an approved rating for these kind of lamps then we would recommend it. If the it is not please know that some fixtures are made with consideration to heat tolerances particularly to the lamp operating temperature. Installing a lamp that operated at a high temperature than originally designed can be dangerous.
