It'd have to reach somewhere in excess of 250c, perhaps as much as 400c, before you reached the flash point of unleaded fuel.

It really was quite surprising the reaction. And often from people who you could tell were otherwise technically minded.
Just been out to the garage having left it on test for a couple of hours in air. The light remains on, drawing about 140mA.
If force heated it tops out at around 180mA when the lamp reaches full brightness. So its not going to light the lamp to full brightness in use and maybe in particularly cold weather it may be too faint.
Therefore my Thermistor selection may not be quite correct.
