I would like to install the light in 1" thick fiberglass ceiling tile. Is there any problem with heat or fire with fiberglass ceiling tile?

Looks like 3/4 " would be maximum thickness before the spring clips wouldn't. Work well. As for heat , you just don't want to have insulation on top of it. But it doesn't seem to put out much heat.

The fixture doesn't make any heat or not enough to cause any issues for a fiberglass ceiling. It would work just fine

Not with these LED's. The clips might have trouble grabbing a one inch thick piece, but if you cut your hole really close I thing they will.

It is all steel so the heat should not be an issue. Mounting into the masonry may be interesting. The mounting system uses a tear drop around a screw head and is designed for, I think, a #8 screw.

I have it mounted above my fireplace and had no issues. It's incredibly light compared to the plasma that we replaced. We have this mounting kit http://goo.gl/HOvCn and I installed this http://goo.gl/FiK7r box for running the wires through the wall and power.

We built a frame under our mantle and set bricks around it to look real, but you have to have a vent coming out in case the heat gets turned on. If there is no vent it will cause a fire

I second what the others said. The problem with an enclosed fixture is the heat build up shortens the life of the bulb. This bulb produces only minimal heat.

Not really. Like any lamp, you don't want to touch near the bulb, but it's the heat is not as bad as you think it will be for a lamp this bright.

It should work just fine and it puts off very little heat. The LED's are directional so pay attention when installing the rope. You might want to install it in an un-lit room and be sure to have the rope "on" when installing it. If you want a "glow", then point the LED's away from the ceiling. Otherwise you will see a small brightspot on the ceiling at every LED location. There are small, clear installation clips available for the rope and I recommend installing them 16" apart

I've had this light flush mounted since early to mid summer, and so far have had no problems with it. I do not have any special ventilation. The bulbs themselves can get hot as they are halogen, but I don't believe that there is any transformer inside that would heat up the fixture itself. If you don't want heat coming from the bulbs, you can always buy g9 size LED bulbs. If you do that, I recommend buying the regular (non-dimmable) LED bulbs, as the dimmable LED bulbs can be quite large.

I feel quite sure it wouldn't. Even at full brightness, which I don't care for, the heat would be negligible. personally I like some of the medium light better. It's fun to play with and find your own lighting preferences

Not a good idea if the ceiling fan has an enclosed cover. These bulbs are halogen and get hot and have a small candelabra base. I don't think your ceiling fan has a candelabra base.

yes, this is no problem, as you remove the old light fixture (the rating is for that ceiling light). We bought this light about 6 months ago and absolutely love it. It comes with 12 20Watt halogen lights and is dimmeable.

I installed it myself n it did burn out. I'm not a professional but have installed other fixtures with no problems. My repair guy said I installed it wrong n could have burned the house down. It is beautiful so i bought another one. When I bought it I never read about the hazards. I wouldn't have bought a second one. I'll keep a close eye on this one.

I had the same idea, try to avoid pulling up tile. I put it between 16" joists, thru 3/4" ply, thru 1/4" cement board, thru tile. It really is not meant to be used this way. It got a hot spot and opened after a few months. I sandwiched it in sheet aluminum for safety, which worked OK. The heat was not even and took a long time to heat up. Not anything like putting it between tile and backer which works great.

Make sure you follow the instructions that come with the bulb. Many CFLs are not suitable for enclosed fixtures (such as glass globes where there is no ventilation to dissipate heat). I've installed CFLs in an enclosed ceiling fixture and the CFLs failed in less than a year. But the CFLs that I installed in lamps with open-air lampshades are still working after several years.

Absolutely - you generally will run it on a very low setting - you are not after a bonfire but only some ambiance. I spent the money and put colored fireglass in mine and it looks great. Also, is you hook it up with a flexible hose expect to hear some whistling when you have it really turned up. It not the unit itself but the hose.

My best idea is try one of these: 15-Pack E12 to E26 / E27 Adapter - JACKYLED Chandelier Socket (E12) to Medium Socket (E26/E27) Converter ,Max Wattage 1000W,200&#x2103; Heat Resistant,No Fire HazardBut I don't know if you'd be able to get the glass back on or not. I'd hope so, as I love the look of this, but would want better and easier to find bulbs too!

I can't say for sure, but with halogen that is probably a bad idea. The heat build up inside the fan housing could potentially damage the wiring and cause a fire. Imho, I wouldn't try it. I agree though, it is pretty dim.
