[SML] [EXTERNAL] how hot is 341 BTU/hr

[Jeffrey Kanyuck]

I understand your question, but, like others have said, it depends on a lot.
Ask the company if the unit is in a room with a temperature of 70Deg F, and the unit has been running for an hour, how hot will it be?

The company might be your better source for information.

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.
