If the temperature is 6500 k, wouldnt it overheat the room and be dangerous to touch?

The 6500k is a measurement of LIGHT OUTPUT -- it has NOTHING to do with the temperature (F. or C.) of the bulb or the room it's in !! The 27-Watt-bulb can be touched with the Lamp "on" -- it won't burn anything or anyone.

k stands for Kelvin which is the standard unit of measure for color "temperature" of light. It is not temperature as we normally use the term. Think of it as a numerical value for how warm or cool the color of a light bulb is. 6500 k would be a cool blue light.

gee, I didn't know it was that hot. I don't touch the bulb like I wouldn't touch any bulb that is on. and no, it doesn't overheat the room.

Not at all. If the unit getting hot, place a cooler box under, like a lap top.

I would assume if room was a proper temperature, shouldn't be a problem. Also, mattress buffers. Of course, if in a basement or cold room, could be an issue, I guess.

I am not sure, but my guess would be that it would get too hot in the chamber if there was a door. I am new at operating mine, but the problem I have had is that it gets very hot in there! Good luck!

Thomas, That is exactly what my husband is doing with this fan. The max temp is up to 140 F (60 C). It works great, better than expected. He is also using a speed controller on it. It is really quiet too.

No. You can not run it with air temperatures over 140 degrees either or the motor will burn up.

I see no problem, though always best to check local codes. The cabinet does get hot (but not blazing hot) when set on convection at higher temps. Max set point is 450 but it doesn't hold that temp very well so the practical high end is probably 400 or 425. One last note not related to safety: in my opinion this unit is not particularly well built and would likely fail to stand up to hotel use.

I'm assuming it is a large open space and usually not well insulated. The heater is thermostatically controlled and would run constantly and burn itself out.

I don't think it should get hot, warm maybe. But if it's uncomfortable to touch I'd unplug it.

There's no easy way to do it. You can fiddle with the settings. The temperature also depends on the size of the room.

No, it is neutral in temperature. Neither hot nor cool. The temperature of the room is the discerning factor.

Most likely no, you'd probably need a larger heater that has the ability physically adjust the temperature.

The insulation is not very good, it is hot to touch during operation. Therefore, I believe that it will not. It is not a thermal for sure.

I would not recommend it. If it didnt over heat it would be severely underpowered!

it gets warm, but not hot. We have it in our Kids bedroom and have never had a safety concern

It is a good heater and works well in our 150 sq ft room that is insulated. If its real cold where you are it may not work so well in an uninsulated area.
