..how warm are they supposed to get?
Mine get pretty warm... almost hot.. but not to the point where you can't touch it.
Your experiences?

Good question...when I installed them I don't remember them being hot..... and have never checked them either...
How long are yours on before they become hot?

I know that LED's can get hot... but the ones that are very hot (such as a heallight application) come with heat sinks.
Next time you go outside; turn yours on and let it sit for a couple of minutes.. and let me know the temp you feel with your fingertips. Maybe it's normal... if enough people say so...

The new version which is 12 volt is a little hotter then the old version. There are a lot of led's compacted in a very small area and they are really bright.
A lot of people including myself have the old version installed which has the resistor boxes and runs at 5 volts.
The new version is better and much easier to install.
Thanks Rick.
I will keep them under observation.
I would think that they will be sufficiently cooled while underway... not too concerned at this point. Just was wondering....
Damned things are certainly bright. Me likes.
