Is this paint heat resistant? I want to find paint to use on light bulbs.

I am not sure if this paint is heat resistant. I would assume it is and it is reasonable in cost so it could be worth an experiment. The bottle does not say it is heat resistant. If you want a guaranteed heat resistant paint, I would use Pebeo "Vitrea 160". This is a glass stain that can be baked in the oven to make it heat resistant. Your heat from the lightbulbs would serve as the heating source, thus becoming permanent. It is also a high quality paint and so it costs more.......but you get what you pay for.

I haven't had a problem with heat. The CFL bulbs never get too hot. I've used mine for hours at a time with no problem.

For oil paintings, you should go with the lowest color temp. For LED, that would be 2700K. It has a little more of a yellow tint than the 3000K. The higher the color spectrum gets to sunlight, it will cause damage. I like that the LED also keeps heat away from the artwork.

Dear Michiganian,I tested the bulb and touched it while it was on. Didn't know or care before. You can touch the plastic part where the light shines through, no problem as it is only warm. The metal part in the middle of the bulb does get a little hotter though, I would say hotter than warm, but not really hot. I can still touch it. Hope that answers your question.

My best idea is try one of these: 15-Pack E12 to E26 / E27 Adapter - JACKYLED Chandelier Socket (E12) to Medium Socket (E26/E27) Converter ,Max Wattage 1000W,200&#x2103; Heat Resistant,No Fire HazardBut I don't know if you'd be able to get the glass back on or not. I'd hope so, as I love the look of this, but would want better and easier to find bulbs too!

I like mine. It is still being used. It was covered in snow over winter and has some rust but I am going to use your idea and go to home depot and get fire-resistant paint.

Hello Twigs: First, I would check the heat temperature rating on this product (side of can). I used all of mine so I no longer have the can in front of me. Next would be to measure the surface temp of your exhaust manifold. As I work part time for an "Orange Colored" box store, I can safely tell you that Rust-Oleum makes all different types of heat resistant paint. Punch in "high temp exhaust manifold spray paint" on your Amazon search box and see what comes up. The paint you are asking about, I used on my Weber Grill which can and has gotten up to 500 degrees F. This paint did not peel or flake. Good luck!

I use it on my 5 year Old' s headboard and it does not get hot. I'm an Electrical Engineer and I wouldn't tolerate an unsafe lamp in my house. I bought LED for safety.

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.

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 would not think this paint would be heat resistant enough for this purpose.

I can't remember if it is or not. But I'm not sure that a 100 watt heat bulb is any hotter than a regular 100 watt bulb and the heat would be directed away from the mounting because it's a flood light, so I'd think it's rated fine for that.

Uncertain... Heat lamps put out quite a bit of heat...which is usually not very compatable with plastic.Sorry! Hope that helps a little!Suzy Q

these bulbs are specifically for under cabinet lights. I am not sure what your Amana product is, but it will not be suitable for high temperature use

LEDs generate very little heat compared to cfl or incandescent bulbs. If your can had either of these type of bulbs you should be okay. Insulated ceiling type cans are fairly standard in newer construction. Hope this helps

I have several of these installed in small cans in the kitchen. Heat is not an issue; you can touch/handle the bulbs even without turning the circuit off, as they produce considerably less heat than their incandescent or halogen predecessors.

There are a few companies that make this type of panel heater. Some advertise them as being paintable but I have not found anywhere on the Cozy Heater website that states they are paintable. However I don't see a reason why you couldn't paint the surface of the heater because it's made the same way and doesn't get too hot to be of concern. I plan on painting this one I just received (I have another one in another bedroom) but have not as of yet. Hope this helps some.
