I have a couple of vintage designer lamps that are rated for 60W light bulbs, probably because the plastic in them is heat sensitive. Since I am running out of traditional incandescent bulbs I was thinking of switching to halogen bulbs, but I hear they run very hot. The question is how hot do they get really? I have bought 46W halogen bulbs that are supposed to give the equivalent light of 60W in old style bulbs. Are these ok to use for my purposes?
(I know there has been a lot of threads about light bulbs, but I don’t think this exact question has been adressed)
