Hey Dave, The same question was asked 1 month ago in the D1 forum: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/discovery-1/98172-hot-window-switches.html

As mentioned, it appears virtually all get hot and it has been attributed to the globes.
Mine don't get too hot to touch or anything, just warm.

I haven't ever heard of one catching fire, but you never know. :o

Mine have always done it and the same happens with my ARB air locker switches when they are on at night too, hasnt caused me any hassle, i don't think it would either.
