Do these produce a lot of heat? Looking to see if this will work with my laptop.

Hi runs cool in my tower. Should be ok in the smaller version for a laptop. Mine is good and solid and I do a lot of photo work.

These work with laptop but keep in mind these have no low end power. I was a bit disappointed but it does help me balance my mix as a reference . I'd give these a 7.5/10

In my experience they do not produce any more heat than the OE blubs. I've been very satisfied with them.

Yeah it runs pretty hot, I picked up a laptop cooling pad for mine and seems to do pretty well after that.

I wouldn't. In my flashlight, these batteries get really hot after a 1/2 hour or so. Laptops are notorious for barely handling the heat produced by the power supply and cpu so introducing additional heat would cause you some serious problems.

I have used this a lot and hve never had heat, even in the wires. Hope this helps.

They do work fine without a fan, but the metal plate on the back gets so hot to be untouchable. It's enough to have a small usb fan to cool lot of them.

While this Belkin wireless dongle (adapter) does get warm, I would not say that it "overheats". Depending on the location you have it plugged into -- closer to power supply, close to fan, etc -- it should run cooler on a desktop than on a laptop, which is where I use it. I also think that because mine sits on the same side of my laptop as the exhaust fan, it does tend to get a little warmer. But it depends on what you consider "overheating" and what your concerns are there. Usually when these units overheat for an extended period, they burn out and stop working. Mine has been working for about 6 months, at least 10-12 hours per day if not more, with no problems at all. So I would say it's a pretty solid little adapter and I would recommend it.

Yes, indeed! They DO GET hot! Don't touch. But they don't emit heat like incandescent bulbs do: ie they are cooler in that regard.

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

I have these in several fixtures and I do leave some of these on for extended periods, and they certainly don't produce as much heat as an incandescent bulb. By no means would I call the amount of heat they do produce "tremendous".

I don't think so.... also I would read the manual (if available, if not google it) to see how hot these get. I would not think it would be a good idea. Just my guess....

When I plug in the ones I have they get fairly hot within an hour or two. That's how I know it's working. The heat is necessary to evaporate the moisture from the silica crystals. I recently recharged a couple that had been neglected and it took three days to evaporate all the water out. I'm happy and very satisfied with the units I have so far.

I haven't really noticed them getting warm but like many things electronic, I would imagine they could possibly get slightly warm. They certainly have not gotten warm enough to attract my attention. I currently have one programmable one and 5 that are not programmable. I am thinking about replacing 4 more.

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

I understand your concern in regards to getting hot, but I believe you should be fine with these. I ran a half marathon in these and never got over-heated.

I upgraded to 120 watt for two of them and they worked find. Not sure what rated for but did not seem to overheat
