Does the light bulbs produce the heat or is there another heating element?

Only the light bulbs produce heat but it is only to heat up the person under the bulbs, if you want to heat up the bathroom it would be better to use a regular electric heater.

the "special" bullb produces the heat -- I had it wired so i could easily adjust the time it would stay on -- I used a Phillips clearr heat lamp 250 W which I ordered at the same time via Amazon -- the model I ordered is only a 1-bulb Broan ventilation fan -- my ambient lighting is from another source

I have them in a family room dining set light. The light holds five bulbs and the is a significant difference in the heat. In fact there is not heat to speak of. That was another plus in my purchase of these bulbs. The brightness is actually better too.

I am useing the flat lightbulb shaped LED bulbs in mine and have had no issues. They are cooler and brighter and it is noticable. The other bulbs were very hot, expensive and delicate.

I have not measured the heat output between the two bulbs and I have not had any heat problems. My guess on the heat would be the same or less. They are way brighter than the 24W bulb and I am happy with the light output.

I don't notice that they give off a lot of heat. We have them in our glass globe pendant lights over our kitchen island and another set in our sconces in our family room (up high.) Not sure I would notice the heat factor based on the location but I think they are actually more subdued than regular bulbs. They cast a really nice yellow/goldish hue.

Too much heat? If it conducts electricity and its not a super conductor it generates heat. Way less heat than a light bulb. What's your idea of "too much heat"?

I don't notice any heat output from mine; however I put LED bulbs in the fixtures, and these don't produce much heat anyway. LEDs are much more expensive, but last about three times as long as halogen bulbs. It you use halogen bulbs, I think a lot would depend on your ceiling height.

Any heat created from this bulb is very small. I have a second heat lamp to supply heat for my bearded dragon.

Yes but light is small, dim and insignificant. Pull switch once-light comes on. Second pull of switch-one heating element comes on (with light). Third pull of switch turns on both heat elements with light. Light bulb could easily be removed but I use it as an indicator light reminding me the heater is still on.

I think it has electric heating elements, but you should just contact customer service, they're very knowledgeable

I would say as hot as most light bulbs. When I use them it's usually for short periods of time. I would imagine if being used for a long time, yes.

Yes. LED bulbs produce very little heat and that is why the are so energy efficient.

If I recall correctly, instruction does indicate bulb is LED, but its been awhile since my install. The switch does not generate any heat and is actually cool to the touch, however, of the dozen, or so installed, several have failed, so no more red glow, but flickering. They have since been replaced and currently all are doing fine.

I am using energy efficient light bulbs, but they aren't LED. Love my lamp though.

These bulbs transmit a lot of heat. We use them for under counter lighting.

You really can't tell they give off any heat at all, I've never noticed them to be excessively warm. You can use an LED instead but I have yet to find an LED that doesn't really stick out in that lightbulb design, the LEDs have a lot of plastic in their design as opposed to the halogens that have a sleek, metal look to them.

The top of the fixture has vent slots to let the heat from the bulb out. If turned upside down, all the heat will go toward the electronics for the motion sensor. The only way I would do this would be with a cfl bulb or a led. Neither produce heat.
