An Urgent Message - Risk of Fire

[Dean May]

I don't know definitively but I would guess it to be true. It certainly
will not produce any more heat than the 1.5watts of electricity
consumed. Therefore the heat produced will be miniscule,
inconsequential. The more energy that goes into actual light production
the less will go into heat production. 

One of us needs to go to sleep. I vote me. ;o

Dean, do you know if this is also true of the new LED bulbs?
I don't see how it could be true, if they draw that little power
and make that much light.

I'll try the web soon, and see what I can find out.

P.S. Aladdin lamps also make a lot of heat. In the middle of
the winter, this might not be all that bad a side effect.
