Will the electrical contact of the A19 bulb reach temperatures above 80°C (176°F)?


Will the electrical contact (foot) of the bulb reach temperatures above 80°C (176°F)?

We do not expect the lamp base to reach 176 °F, but we are unable to provide any guarantees here.

If the bulbs will melt a plastic socket what solutions could you propose for cooling the light?

The best method would be to provide as much airflow as possible. This might of course be challenging when considering the installation itself, but unfortunately, this would be the only realistic way to keep the lamp from getting warmer.

Does the temperature affect light quality, quantity, and/or color?

Temperature rise does affect the spectrum and light output, but the effects are generally minimal (e.g. CCT within 30-50K, luminous output within 10%).

Can the bulbs survive temperature differences of 30°F repeating every day? If No please answer the following: a) Why might my lights be raising in temperature? Could it be a result of powering it off of 120v AC wires? b) Will replacing them fix the issue? If so, how can I replace my lights?

As long as the ambient temperatures do not exceed standard indoor room temperatures, repeated thermal cycles should not have any effect on the lamps' longevity.
