What temperature rating are these? Could I use them on a 650W halogen fresnel?

I don't know the temp rating but they appear to be the same type of gels I'm used to in theatre lighting

Began to melt beside a Philips 13W PLS Warm White 2 Pin bulb after about 10 minutes.

The ic rating is usually only concidered a factor when using incandescent bulbs.....because they emit a lot more watts = heat. These LEDs don't get hot at all! I left them on for many hours, after the initial install, and checked to see how hot they were and they were still slightly above room temperature.

I haven't discovered the temp limit but am using these in the Paradise GL22724BK Low-Voltage Cast-Aluminum, which is a sealed system spot light housing for over a year now...works very well...no degradation in illumination or color

The current rating is what matters as you can use these at 115V as well as 12V. My application was 360W at 83V so I was running around 4.3Amps. We had no failures in multiple days (probably 20 hours worth or operation). This socket was being heated by the bulb in my application much higher that what you are planning so probably it will take 50W at 12V with no problem.

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.

I use a 6500K bulb and I find it works well. However, I also rotate my seedlings (flowers, fruits, and vegetables) into the sunlight. It really depends on the light color, the reflector, and the output.

They are rated for -40c if you look at there specifications , most LED fixture like the cold better than excessive heat.

Where they are used isn't an issue so long as the fixture in which they are used is rated accordingly. By careful to not use them where they are not approved, as there is a fire risk involved. If your fixture is not rated for 150 watts, you may be in danger.

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

Yes. Can't remember the wattage because their installed in my rental unit, but I was happy with them. I replaced Halogen's with these and they don't put off the heat the Halogen's did and the cool color made the room much nicer and of course brighter. In my opinion. Hope this helps.

Yes. I installed a 12v 50w reflector several months ago and so far so good. I guess they are worried about heat on plastic parts.

Most bi-pin 20w halogens that I have seen are MR11. So you're probably in good shape. It's frustrating that the owner's manual from their own website does not state what kind of bulb this is precisely.

You're welcome. I know this because the older models used 12v T4 50w bi-pin halogens, but I removed the reflector and replaced it with an MR16, and they work fine. I was thinking about LED but bought several MR 16 bulbs on sale.

they spec it in degrees kelvin. compared to other leds I've bought, they are more yellow, natural sunlight. The dispersal seems fairly even over the 120 degree pattern.

Can't answer in degrees but at only 5 watts they dissipate less than a normal night light bulb and, since LEDs are so much more efficient than incandescent bulbs, the heat will be substantially less than your normal night light.

i believe they are rated for 600 watts per- i have 6 x 65 in several places on these dimmers-

I use them outdoors, they have a clear gel coating on them so I'd say they are weather resistant. Power supply voltage and regulation is critical with these they won't last long with a non regulated supply. I run the ones I have at 12.8 volts and they've lasted for six months all night every night. I've run some of these bulbs with a power supply which stated 12vdc but was actually putting over 16volts needless to say these bulbs lasted about 2 weeks before flickering and burning out. They will last a long time with proper power supply.
