LED porch light feels hot when on

[email protected] All Messages By This Member #104148 It was hot enough that I actually thought it was incandescent - until I took off the cover and discovered it was an LED plate. The light I'm talking about is the amber oval outside the door to the lower left. It has a rocker switch on the underside. Should I be concerned that there's too much resistance and it's a fire hazard, or what can I do to ensure it's not having some kind of issue? Thanks!

Steve T All Messages By This Member #104150 The way they make LEDs cheap is they put insufficient heat sinks in them.? Those bulbs get hot and some of the really bad ones have caught fire.? They also tend to burn out way before they should.? ? Buy a new bulb from m4products.com and you won't have that problem.??

Polarity is? important – the plus wire must go to the plus side of the new fixture. RV stores sell well made fixtures identical to the one you’re replacing – I’ve installed several and they are trouble-free and bright.? ? Dave ? ……………………… ?
