    I'm using the same floodlight too, but warm white. Don't quite like using it as they heat up quite a lot. I believe mine already started to generate less light than when it's new, only 3 months usage. Also, I didn't like that the periphery of the screen is getting less light than the middle.

    Your screen is smaller than mine though, it looks like it's getting quite a good spread over it. Hope to see your results soon.

    I don't have an exact measurement of the temp but I would say, I won't place my finger on the heatsink fins for more than 2secs.

    Well, perhaps mine has really bad ventilation. It's enclosed in a glass compartment. I'm switchin lights anyway. And I would recommend this led floodlight to be honest haha. Not because it heats up, just that it doesn't cover or rather dont give proper spread of light

    It sounds like there was something wrong for them to be getting that hot
