Some people report the metal element heading north of 180°F, but these Hue bulbs continue to work fine day after day. As long as the glass part of the bulb (i.e. the end which gives out light) doesn’t get very hot to touch, it should be fine.
Can Hue lights start a fire?
No Philips Hue Lights gets nearly hot enough to be a fire hazard in any way, but even the LED strips I’ve tested this myself. Unlike normal bulbs or LED strips, Hue Light is always powered on and connected so you can change the lighting in an instant with your smartphone or voice if connected to Alexa or Google Home.
Is it normal for light bulbs to get hot?
Yes, conventional incandescent light bulbs do get very hot since they are very inefficient. Most of the energy produced by conventional light bulbs is wasted in heat dissipation, that’s why LED bulbs are a much better design. For the same light output as a 60 Watt bulb most LED bulbs consume only about 9 watts.
Do smart bulbs overheat?
They are less of a safety-hazard or fire-hazard compared to other lights because they don’t overheat. This is because they remain low in voltage and waste less heat energy than other light forms.
Are there any light bulbs that don’t get hot?
More modern globes, like LEDs can be expensive.But LEDs are great because they don’t produce heat. LEDs or light-emitting diodes don’t require any heat to help their elements ‘glow’.
How long can you leave Hue lights on?
There’s also a difference in how long Philips Hue lights of different generations last. First-generation smart lights last up to 15,000 hours, while second- and third-generation lights last up to 25,000 hours.
How long do hues last?
Hue Bulbs and Setup
Philips rates the lifespan of each bulb at up to 15,000 hours, and despite the Wi-Fi connectivity, claims that each bulb uses 80 percent less power than a traditional incandescent bulb.
How hot should light bulbs get?
Incandescent and CFL bulbs get so hot because most of their energy is being released as heat, not light, making them much more ineffeicient. Proprietary tests show 100W incandescent lights burning at 335.4 F, CFL lights burning at 179.2 F and LED bulbs burning at 87.2 F.
Which bulb is hottest?
And certainly, the type of bulb you buy will determine heat issues. Incandescent lights are the hottest of the bunch. These can range from 50-250F starting with a 15 watt up to a 150 watt. The higher the wattage can radiate higher heats as a result.
Do LED bulbs get hot to the touch?
Hot to the touch, but not nearly as hot as Incandescent, Halogen and CFL bulbs are.The hottest outside surface of an LED light bulb is often half the temperature of an equivalent brightness Incandescent or Halogen bulb, and around 20% cooler than CFL bulbs.
Do smart LED bulbs burn out?
Smart bulbs will eventually burn out either through age or use. You can expect a smart bulb to function for between 15 and 25 years or 15,000 and 25,000 hours. This is considerably less than a regular LED bulb that doesn’t have smart functionality.
Can cheap LED bulbs cause a fire?
Incandescent bulbs get hot enough to start contact fire if they are nearby flammable objects, while LED bulbs never reach that temperature. However, improper wiring and overloaded LED light fixtures are often the cause of fires.
Are LED bulbs a fire hazard?
LED bulbs can get hot but, not so hot that it would be a fire hazard. You would need something external that heats up the LED light bulb and the bulb should be made of plastic before it could catch fire or a manufacturing default.
Why are LED bulbs so hot?
Traditional lights produce heat through IR (Infrared Radiation) which tend to heat the bulb around it which makes the bulb too hot to touch. LEDs don’t generate heat through IR which means that they don’t heat the bulb around them. This is the reason why LEDs are used in stores, restaurants, and homes.
What is the coolest burning light bulb?
Again, the LEDs were the winner by far, with a temperature of 109 degrees, compared with 279 degrees for the halogen bulbs (see the comparison on the chart.)
Are Philips hue safe?
Hue is committed to customer safety and the ongoing security of our products. We allocate significant resources to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities in the design phase of our products.

Can you leave Hue GO plugged in?
Best answer: The wireless, portable, and yes, rechargeable Philips Hue Go light will last for up to three hours between charges. Plug it into an outlet for charging and unlimited use.
Do Hue lights use a lot of energy?
Philips Hue has a wide range of lighting products powered with efficient LED technology that saves up to 80% of the energy compared to incandescent lighting when used at full light output.You can check the energy consumption at different light settings for any certified bulb.
Why are my hue lights flickering?
Your Philips Hue flashing, flickering, and buzzing may actually be caused by minor issues such as faulty bulbs, loose bulb sockets, and faulty dimmer switches. It could also be caused by far more serious issues such as faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, voltage fluctuations, and faulty power service utilities.
Do Philips Hue lights work in any lamp?
The Philips Hue bridge uses the Zigbee Light Link standard, which makes it, according to Philips, compatible to all such light bulbs and devices. Of course all Philips lights should be compatible but there are some interesting alternatives on the market!
