My monolight has a halogen modelling light - has anyone had any problems with the heat generated from a halogen modelling light inside the brolly box?

I only use these with Speedlites so I don't really know, but...I wouldn't try it. I think the heat might be too much. The cloth of the umbrella could get too close and start to burn from the heat.

I bought for speed lights, but did put on my alien bee 1600 once. This was just a test and while I took about 10 shots in fifteen minutes and It didn't burn, I won't do it again. Not worth the risk to self or my lights. There's just to many other options. Beauty dish is nicer light..

I have been using these studio lights for a few months now. They came with 45 watt, 5500K bulbs, similar to the bulbs you are looking at above. They use standard size light bulb bases like everything in your house. Your higher wattage bulbs should work ok. Heat would be the main concern. I probably would not use halogen bulbs because they are very hot. The only modification I made was to extend the vertical support rod so I can sit these on the floor and now have them high enough for my tabletop, otherwise the base has to sit on the table itself, taking up room.

Halogen lights get way too hot. You could not touch a lit 10w halogen bulb without getting a 1st degree burn; they get that hot. Do NOT use a halogen bulb in your daughters room.

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.

It says right on the neck of the fixture NOT FOR USE IN ENCLOSED LUMINARY. Many commentators stress how little heat comes from these bulbs. That is true on the lighted side. The backside or the side in the enclosed can is another matter. If you feel the backside cooling fins you'll soon realize that plenty of heat is generated, so much so that inside an enclosed can they'd be too hot to touch. That is undoubtedly the reason for the disclosure stated in the first sentence. What is at issue is the build up of heat. Will it trip the cutout? Will it affect the electronics that make the LED function? I have these same lights in enclosed cans in my house. For years I had halogen in the same cans. The cans are rated for insulation coverage. At the very least I'd expect a drop in life expectancy. It'd be nice to have a little vent in the can to vent the heat.

If the light AND heated failed simultaneously you might have overloaded the circuit breaker. My electrician put in a whole new circuit for the heater wiring so as to not overload the existing light/exhaust fan wiring. I read some reviews of the Broan unit before buying. A few folks reported the heating element failing shortly after installation. I've had mine for almost a year and use the heater regularly. So far no problem. Good luck.

from the factory they have oil on them and with the amount of heat created by the light it will burn the oil. This should only happen first couple times you use it, if it persists then you might have an issue.

Make sure there is continuity through the wires going to lamp. There is a lot of heat generated by the 50w halogen and the wires that are connected to lamp socket or the slot for the pins could be burned.

I forgot to mention that my bases are each different regarding the angle of the holes to put the LED wires into. I had to bend the wires nearly 90 degrees on one and slightly modify it so the light shines as normal. One cover does not fit, but it does not get as hot as the halogen.

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.

I responded recently that the color temp is slightly whiter than the halogen color temp. When I replaced three of them above our vanity she complained that the new bulbs really washed out her mirror reflection, so I put one of the originals back in the middle socket. The combo was satisfactory and saves us a lot on electricity. But I cannot answer your question quantitatively.

I never kept the product because mine came broke on delivery. How ever Halogen lights can get warm and go off but not every 10 minutes, something is wrong with your light to make it over heat that quickly. Did you put a higher walt bulb in it by any chance? That might account for the problem otherwise you got a defected one contact them. Hope this helped Good Luck Shari

I don't know exactly what the problem is but the same thing happened to me. I sent mine back to Nebo for replacement/repair which was successful. I suspect the problem is high heat generated from prolonged use causes damage to the LED, which would be a fundamental design flaw with the device. I have since tried to limit continuous on time for this reason.

Quite minimal. I also have a halogen lamp and it produces much more heat. Hope this helps!

the halogen that it comes with are great but very hot, i used my light in a cigar humidor and replaced them with led spots (EVER 5W LED G10 bulbs also from amazon) and the light is great and very cool if that matters. i must warn you however, the packaging was horrendous, i had to return the first order as it appeared someone ran over it with a truck and there were missing parts. the replacement package was just as bad but all the parts were there. i decided to give it a shot and installed, so far its working fine.

I have not has any issue with the lights getting to hot. I use mine primarily for pictures of my children and have had no worries.

Hello Patricia. I have an overhead kitchen light fixture that used to eat regular incandescent bulbs in a matter of a few months, then compact fluorescent bulbs also in a matter on a few months. I have two of these LED bulbs and they run much cooler. Be aware that they are not as bright but the glass enclosure does not get hot. I barely even gets warm. My answer is Yes.
