Question Leading edge lights gets very hot - 100?C. Is it normal?

Guys,

I am testing leading edge lights by
AveoEngineering and I see it gets to
100?C in 30 minutes.

Is it normal? Should I be looking for an alternative?

Here is the model:

Looking at the spec sheet Aveo states that the Hercules 30 puts out 113W with everything blazing, so yeah it's going to get hot.

Down towards the bottom it says:
Overheat protection: temperature dependent decrement intensity

I read that as "If it's not getting dimmer you're all good.".
