I have just bought and fitted the lamps below, I just wondered if these could possibly run too hot and damage the plastic reflector, anyone have any experience of this??? or thoughts?

1 watt of light is 683 lumens, thus a 5 watt wedge bulb producing the specified 50lm is using less than 0.1W of those 5 watts to produce visible light - the remaining 4.9 or so is (broadly) emitted as heat. Assuming the stated 3.08W power consumption of those bulbs is accurate, they don't even draw as much power as a filament bulb would emit as heat, so there should be no need to worry.

They look ideal to me, can't see why you should have any problems at all. |
