How hot does this get after an hour of being on? For example, can you touch it? can you hold it?

you can touch these bulbs but shortly they will begin giving you 1st degree burn . you can not get away with swapping hands when holding a hot bulb like you can with cfl bulbs and they should not give you horrible third degree burns or burn your house down or burn up your electric money like halogen and incandescent bulbs will . the kobi led chip (according to my research) seems to be the only one to have solved all the problems of the past with led bulbs ie.. high lumen ,>5k k color,ect. output. kobi led and cfl bulbs seem to produce the same lumen to power usage but the led does not contain mercury like cfl bulbs do and led should be the last bulb some people will ever buy. I highly recommend them. you can touch these bulbs but shortly they will begin giving you 1st degree burn . you can not get away with swapping hands when holding a hot bulb like you can with cfl bulbs and they should not give you horrible third degree burns or burn your house down or burn up your electric money like halogen and incandescent bulbs will . the kobi led chip (according to my research) seems to be the only one to have solved all the problems of the past with led bulbs ie.. high lumen ,>5k k color,ect. output. kobi led and cfl bulbs seem to produce the same lumen to power usage but the led does not... » Read More you can touch these bulbs but shortly they will begin giving you 1st degree burn . you can not get away with swapping hands when holding a hot bulb like you can with cfl bulbs and they should not give you horrible third degree burns or burn your house down or burn up your electric money like halogen and incandescent bulbs will . the kobi led chip (according to my research) seems to be the only one to have solved all the problems of the past with led bulbs ie.. high lumen ,>5k k color,ect. output. kobi led and cfl bulbs seem to produce the same lumen to power usage but the led does not contain mercury like cfl bulbs do and led should be the last bulb some people will ever buy.

I don't know. The built in transformer makes the heat, I believe. I installed 15 of them 15 feet high in high hats 11/8/2013, and with an expected 50,000 hour life, I expect to never touch them and find out.

both. Like a hot tub. No comparison to the bulbs You know, even cooler than an energy saving fluorescent lamp.

Mine gets very warm/hot, but I can still touch it. I only run my vac for about 10 min at a time.

Nah, it is just drawing the amprage needed to charge. It shouldn't get much hotter than that... If it starts to Burn to the touch there may be a defect in the product. But hot to the touch just don't lay on it for long periods of time or anything.

I don't think body heat is the important thing, it's body capacitance. I'm no electrical engineer and at first I thought how it was held would make no difference, but I tried holding it with a folded up cloth and it did seem to not work after the first couple of pokes. Interesting. However, for a buck I would give it a try.

I should say if you touch it briefly you won't burn yourself but it will make it uncomfortable enough that you want to take your hand away. It works like forced air, a great heater and I've had several different models, this being the best one.

No it does not get too hot. You can barely feel any heat from it. I like it a lot. I have been using it at night before going to bed and my sleep hasn't been as good so I am going to use it earlier in the day to see if it is from the medlight at night. I am very sensitive to things too.

I have never left it on overnight. The short time I have left it on it didn't heat up at all. Not sure what would happen if left on for extended periods.

No, you shouldn't hold this in your hand while it's on because it is very full of water (that sometimes spills out even when it is on a surface), is very hot, and is plugged into the wall. You should even wait to clean it until several minutes after it's turned off so you don't burn your hands.

Temp setting was 166 degrees. Not sure it was that hot but it would burn you. It has auto shutoff but it was by time and you could set timer up to 1 hour. I need to tell you that ours has already. Burned out and the company told us we had violated terms of warranty on hours of use per day. Don't recall exact terms but it was like if you used it more than 1 hour twice a day you voided warranty. We won't b buying another one!!

I have this pot. I have never noticed it getting to hot to touch while cooking I can always grab it. I hope this helps

My monitor does get noticeably warm to the touch if left on for extended periods (We're talking 8+ hours), but I haven't found it to cause any problems. And it seems to cool down very quickly from being warm. None of the heat emanates from the screen itself, but from the back. I'm only an average to slightly advanced tech user, but I don't think this monitor is overly warm as compared to anything else that is left running for long periods of time.

After 10 minutes on the bulb is unpleasant to touch, but not hot enough to actually damage your hand. Certainly not hot enough to cause a fire. If you confine the bulb in a small space,(ie shower cap) it may get warm enough to melt the shower cap

it does get hot ( due to the hot air coming out of it . ) but it doesn't get so hot you can't stand it. Yes you can hold it in place on your head. You take it away when you feel it's too hot.

If you mean you can use it for hours it might but it will probably get hot to the touch. You can only use it plugged in. You can't charge it.

Very hot, at base. So hot you can not touch for 2-3 minutes after shutting off.

Not really. It will sometimes remain warm for 8 hours or longer, but there is no point in using it once the warmth is gone. I do sometimes take it off and on during that 8+ hour period when it is warm.

Yes, of course it is hot to the touch, extremely hot! That is, when it works. But then it does not often work. So there is a trade-off here.
