HID Xenon lamps run cooler than a Halogen.
They make Halogen lamp cooktops stoves, NOT Xenon stove tops.
I have plastic reflectors in my motorcycles and with the Xenon they don’t melt, I tried a 130 watt bulb once on par with the 35 watt Xenon in light output.
The Halogen melted the housing.
HID Xenons do get hot but are cooler than a Halogen, its a fact.
Yes, I thought about that after I hit post. It was halogen lamps that melted the plastic reflectors.
