Are these heat resistant? I only need it to withstand 100w

easily. Just make sure the bulbs don't touch the gels and that there is enough clearance between the gels and the light bulbs. They are great! By the way, they come kinda micro scratched but that wouldn't matter really as they are for light and not lens.

I use them in a old color wheel for my Christmas tree, you can't let the bulb get too close to them, but it works.

My experience was not good using them on 500W par 64 cans, they melted within minutes, so 100 W - if they are far away from the light they MAY be OK but I would not guarantee it. My smaller cans with 75W get pretty hot and warp the more expensive gels because the bulbs are about 1 inch away, so these would likely melt too. The PAR 64 cans held the gels about 10 inches away and as I noted they melted in minutes. These would work well for LED or fluorescent lights, but incandescent lights were a no-go for me.

A 105w CFB should be fine as they produce significantly less heat than incandescent, halogen or the likes. And this particular bulb holder uses a ceramic socket inside it to deal with heat issues without melting, that's why I use them. But as always, YMMV.

It will be ok as long as they are not over 35 watts. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any questions. Sincerely, Briana

I don't think so. I had only one MR16 50W connected and the housing heated up and melted

I have tried them for 30-70-100 and 50-100-150watt bulbs. The higher wattage gradually degrades the cardboard insulator which becomes brittle in my experience. The lower wattage holds up better.JCK

I used these for craft projects without heat, so I'm sorry I can't advise you on this further.

They are not heat resistant and cannot be used while the pan is hot. Warm, sure, but not while hot. I melted one of mine slightly due to the pan being too hot while scraping.

I use this for a 100w powersun uva/uvb bulb and it works perfect, i dont know how a ceramic heat emitter would do, but i dont think there should be a problem at all.

Sure! Low heat, low power draw. They are great. Mostly plastic though, so not TOO sturdy if someone dropped or stepped on them. Mine are permanent mount and still going strong.

These cannot take ANY heat. I purchased them for my landscape lighting, 50 watt halogen, and they began to melt almost immediately. I'm not really sure what they ARE good for. Hope this helps.

They dont run hot but the filament breaks when lite falls on floor. they are to fragile. in my line of work i always carry a spare. never had one on long enough to judge the life. i would go led over this type.

they withstand heat pretty well, but not super hot. They can warp if you get them too hot.

I doubt if heat cable would get hot enough to melt them, check with both manufactures just to be safe.

yes I purchased the LED bulbs and we really like them. The output is great for us. I don't know if it is actually equivalent to a 100 watts. But I would purchase more if needed

These generate a good amount of heat. If you're putting them in a waterproof fixture, you need to make sure they don't overheat considering the sealed container. I would think it is best to verify with the manufacturer.

I have not tried what you ask but I would guess that the rubber handles are not heat resistant. I did not see anywhere on the product that the handles were silicon/heat resistant. You could send an email to Bright Springs and ask.

Absolutely OK. They emit close to zero heat. You can grab the bulb with your bare hands even after it has been on and not get burned.
