Damn, MH lights are hot

[mark]

And when you put the back of your wet hand against them, it makes a searing sound.

I know I did that about 3 weeks ago.

[michika]

Oh I remember doing that... ouch!

[fkshiu]

Just be glad you had some water on your hands to dissipate the heat a bit. Touching a hot MH bulb with dry skin = blister time.

don't they burn up 2 a sizzlin' 1000-degrees celcius!!??

[fishoholic]

OUCH! remind me not to do that

[bv_reefer]

-when u touch something that hot u wont need a 2nd reminder!
ya i don't even go near cuz theres no need but when i turn them off and
there cherry hot in the inside thats enuf of a warning of its own!

[Mik_101]

OUCH that never happend to me and I hope it dosent either.

I did that a couple of years ago right before a ski trip. Its really not a good idea to put on ski gloves when you have a 2inch circular scab on the back of your hand. Getting them off was exceedingly painful

Yep they are hot. Try burning the back of your neck.
