[QUOTE="Mykilleon, post: 2021753, member: 117837"] I removed the slate; the surface underneath is insulation foam, painted with Drylok and then brushed with thin layers of acrylic paint. ThIs did not seem to solve my problem. The digital probes were still getting up above 120° in the center of the beam. I tried angling the light and turning it up near full power (picture attached, the bricks are temporary, I'll anchor it more stably). The probe in the beam currently reads 109.5 and the one on the log on the right reads 88.1. I've had everything in this position for about 30 minutes now and the temperatures seem to be staying right around there. The Klein IR gun is [I]definitely[/I] less accurate on the painted Drylok, as it's showing over 140° in the spot where the probe is, yet I can hold my hand on the surface without a problem. I think I might still try covering at least a part of the top mesh to raise ambient heat. I may also experiment with steeper light angles or raising it up an inch or so. Any other thoughts or comments that might be useful? [/QUOTE]
