I need information on maximum acceptable temperature at the glass of a in-ground floodlight to avoid skin burn

Question

I am attempting to establish what are the industry recommended standards of surface temperature of the glass to avoid skin burns from somebody touching fixtures or walking on fixture with bare feet. what is a safe temperature and what temperature is to hot.

Answer 1

i am not sure with Glass, but with water anything over 60 degrees C is considered too hot. I would think that with glass it would be similar, but it may be less to allow for someone becoming unconscious and remaining in contact with the glass for a long period.

Answer 2

Any temperature above about 140 degs F is considered hot enough to cause burns.

Answer 3

For what its worth 60 deg C = 140 deg F
