Yes, they do burn hot, which is why you want to keep them away from drapes, etc. I usually only use mine for 2-3 hours in the evening.
Our halogen has a two way light in it; 150 and 300 watts, or something like that. When set at the brighter light, the bulb goes off after only 10-15 minutes as a safety feature - guess it's getting too hot. Became quite annoying, so we hardly use it anymore.
Thank you for all your helpful comments,
