Buyer beware, again buyer beware

The fine print says the dimensions are 9.69 x 7.8 x 5.47 inches

These are very tiny lights. Despite what the misleading dollhouse sized drawings would have you believe.

This is a shady sales tactic

Some people view the poly-carbonate shades/fins as fire hazards. The original maker of these deformable lights used cast aluminum to dissipate heat.

Get aluminum alloy. This cheap led generate heat much. It is ok for light use, not good for garage or room that would turb on in hours when in use....

I've seen ppl mentioning about the aluminum ones but is there a link? Purchased these previously for the garage and really like the brightness but concerned about heat dissipation.

Are there documented cases of fires these have caused?

Not that I am able to find.

I have owned a light just like this (diff brand name, plastic molding and specs are identical) for over a year and abused it extensively as a work light.
I have never observed the plastic getting hot enough where I would be concerned about a fire risk.

Plugged mine in 5 min ago and will report back once maximum temp is reached and documented on the plastic housing.

FYI - if you have an older 315MHz garage door opener these will interfere with remote control operation. It's not horrible, but two of them within 2-4 feet of the receiver will cut the remote range by above a factor of 4-8

Seems temps have stabilized.
Ambient temp: 78f
Most of the plastic housing directly behind/above the aluminum heatsink seems to be around 150f, peaking at 160f.
All plastic exterior to this is below 100f.
I believe I am able to measure the heatsink itself @ 170f.
This type of plastic likely will not melt until it gets closer to 500f.

In for 1 (2).
