Without quantifying the term "very hot" (more than 200' F? more than 300' F?) or comparing it to something else that operates at a relatively high temperature (like a standard incandescent bulb), your statement makes no sense.

It's my opinion that a standard incandescent bulb runs very hot. You can easily burn yourself if you touch one. To me, it sounds like you're saying that an LED bulb gets just as hot as an incandescent bulb. That's what I'm taking issue with, because that is false.

Your link to the article on Switch Lighting says nothing about how hot their LED bulb gets. It talks about their use of new liquid-cooling technology to cool the LEDs, but nothing about what kind of temperatures are present.
