How hot does a 250w heat lamp get?
The 253-1119 is a red, safety coated shatter-resistant infrared heat bulb from Franklin Machine Products that has a medium base and 500 degrees F maximum ambient temperature. The infrared heat bulb runs on 120 Volts for 250 Watts and it is NSF certified.
Should a light bulb be 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.
