Leave one on for an hour or two and the grasp it firmly with your hand.
Now try and tell me they run 'warm to the touch' after you've finished
applying the bandages.


I've got an RO80 one lighting this keyboard. It's in a metal fitting.
Which is only warm to the touch - you could leave your hand on it all day.
The previous filament lamp made the housing too hot to touch.
