The bracket acts like a heat sink and reduces the temperature of the LED quite a bit. As long as I am moving, they do not get too hot, but when stopped for a while, they do get warm. I was concerned that in the summer here (Florida) and when stopped in traffic, they would have gotten too hot.
For good measure, I painted the brackets the color of the bikenot that you can see anything when standing in front of the bike.
Great info, thanks I'll keep that in mind but I don't think I'll need to worry about them heating up too much in Scotland :lol
That's said I've not checked them after a run but guy who I bought them from never mentioned it as a problem. My intention is just a black bracket to put them wherey led running light is at the moment, which is basically where yours are but on the Boxeye model.
Couple of pics of them before I installed them.
