[SML] how hot is 341 BTU/hr

[Riter, Andrew]

Hi everyone

Trying to convert some specs into How Hot is it really?

The driver has a heat rating of 341 BTU/Hr

One website says you can't convert BTU (which is a rise in temperature measurement) to Farheinheight (which is the level of temperature).
Another website says that 1BTU/Hr is approx. 0.5 Celcius Thermal Unit per hour, or 189C/hr.

I don't think than answers my question.

How hot does the driver get (room temperature, warm to the touch, hot to the touch)?
Specifically, can I lay my SJOW 3/12 extension cables, my DMX cables, and my IQ/Scroller power cables on the drivers and not damage my cables, or make the drivers get too hot?

Thanks.
