Can this be used in a light for an oil painting? Does it generate a lot of heat?

What is a "lot" of heat? This lamp is a room lamp; not designed to illuminate a picture. You need a lot less watts to do that unless you use a dimmer switch.

Yes. It looks great in the kitchen and throws off a lot of light. I used it in a kitchen renovation job and was very pleased with the results!

depends on the bulbs. heat lamp black lights will melt it. im using compact florescents that dont produce much heat. i would side on caution and say it would melt it

I noticed very little heat generated even though the led light is nearly touching my acrylic tank's top. But if u have glass tanks or set a bigger gap in between, I think it shouldn't be a problem leaving on 24/7. Also read the manual for safety tips.

It will light and heat up but the fan that circulates the heat won't work with the power out. So it depends what your trying to heat. For a small area it would be good.

The light it self (led) will not create heat at all. You will not feel any energy heat come from the light at all.

I believe it would work okay. The light does generate a lot of heat -- so use in a confined spot could cause problems, in my view.PN

This is not a very bright light. I had 2 of these next too a classic art work. The light they produced was mediocre at best. Worst, it was more greenish.didn't like that at all.but for a massage room. They might be right. It ultimately boils down to your personal preference. Good luck.

No, it gives off very little heat. But it will be a lot of light if you set it directly on top of a 20L. Elevated 6 inches above the tank you still may need CO2 in order to control algae.

Low but should not be expected to warm a room on it's own. Great for ambiance but an oil filled heater is the more cost effective option.

I don't recommend this kind light for music video. because being too hot . If the work space is small you can use LED light.

specifically the base does get hot to the touch but it seems very little if any heat is given off. There's nearly no discernible heat from the bulb/light and almost no heat given off in general. Should be completely safe for fully enclosed fixture.

I installed it in a similar space, but an open-shed environment. It heats well if you are in the path of the light. Over time it may heat an enclosed space, but the space will need to capture the infrared light to re-radiate it.

I don't think so. THis is a very small spotlight. Although I purchased it to showcase art, I ended up attaching it to my lamp for bedside reading and on a thermostat to check temperatures in dimly lit spaces.

same thought i had and finally am bartering to give it to my handyman. i was astonished at the lightness. you would need to have some sort of heat resistant paint for the opening where the heat comes. out. A shame, because the flame effect is great. Went for a smaller one by another well-known brand in cherry and black.

It's made of plastic and would be afraid that it would both melt and catch on fire...You might be able to use a LED or if you know of a light that does not put off a lot of heat. It also might be to thick for the light to really shine through.

I would not recommend it for that purpose since it isn't designed to "stick." I suppose you could. We use it to sit on a table and to shine up onto a picture on the wall or to sit on a table and shine on a piece of artwork. The light beam is small, the batteries don't last all that long. In our experience the best lighting for the long-term for art on the wall is an attached light (made for artwork) with an electric cord. We do enjoy having these "Rite Lite" pieces for some of our art for which we don't have the attached (expensive) lighting. But I don't think they are really intended to be attached to a wall....Just my opinion. I would not recommend it for that purpose since it isn't designed to "stick." I suppose you could.
