No it does not get very hot. I have it mounted on my wall to make my stars light up too!

The light gets warm but certainly not hot. I turned to full brightness and after an hour the heat was minimal. The rheostat allows you to diminish the brightness for use as a nightlight. I really like these, so much I ordered another. B.D.

Ive had this for about two years and it STILL glows.. the thing is that i lived in a basement room with no windows (which may be why they glow so bright) and all it needs is light from any light bulb to make it glow. Ill turn on the lights from my room and then when im ready for bed ill turn off the lights and it feels like im floating in a bunch of stars. Now i gave the bedroom to my nephews and they love it. I still have some leftover stars and theyre still glowing. Now i have a room with two windows and i have blackout curtains to go with them and the stars still shine bright. Ill never regret buying this product. I love it.

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.

No it does not get hot. It gets warm but not untouchable. It barely radiates any heat.

Yes. It gets warm. The shade helps but it's like any other little night light bulb. Try to find and LED one if heat is an issue.

Do not buy! This is a piece of crap! Doesn't even get the room warm, just makes it bright! I sold mine for $3 in a garage sale. Hope that answers your question.

Not that bright after i put them up. Only has 35w and can go no higher. Would be too hot for light. I bought 2 of them and put the other one in my garage and didn't use it. Bought another one that would take 50w of light and it is much brighter. White walls too. About the middle or the side, i am not sure about that. Jerry

Yes this bulb gets hot. Maybe not as hot as a regular lightbulb but hot enough to harm your bird if he got close enough to touch it.

It just doesn't get dangerously hot - apparently the vented shade and halogen bulb inhibit overheating. I have turned off the light after an hour or more use and then brushed my hand against the lamp while prepping pillows - and not been burned doing so - it is warm but not skin-searing hot ever. This is actually one of the best features of the lamp, for which I have the highest praise.

We use this almost every night. It is not bright but depending on how dark the room is, it can shine some light. It glows rather than directing light like a flashlight will. We can read with it or go looking for things. My kids love it. It's hanging in their room and it looks cool.

No, not at all. This lamp is in my living room and used every evening 7 days a week. It has never been hot to the touch.

No but I do have it in a fixture that has a reflector shield around it to concentrate the light. It is as hot as a regular light bulb.

The bulb does get hot, and would burn a child's finger if they touched it after it has been on for a few minutes. I use them in recessed ceiling light fixtures in my RV.

The light bar does heat up slightly. However it's never hot to the touch, just warm. I doubt highly that the lights would heat anything more than a few inches away. Hope that helps.

Yes, LED do not get hot. When you touch the bulb, it cool feeling. Incandescent do get very hot! Highly recommend LED!

No it does not get hot easily. I use it on my umbrella light and it works fine.
