Incandescent light run time for freeze protection?

[dcp063]

I setup my tarp yesterday and strung some bungee cords underneath to hang my light (also setup an old Wyze cam to keep an eye on it).

How long can I keep the light on? Any concerns about it getting too hot? Air temps are going to be in the 20s-teens with wind chill dropping it even lower. Won’t be above freezing until tomorrow afternoon.

How long can I keep the light on?

Until it burns out 8 years from now.

Give it a check periodically that the wind didn't shift anything and it's still secure where it won't touch anything. Those drop lights can get pretty hot.
