I think these are more modern "safety" lights. They are warm in your palm, but they aren't hot - certainly not enough to burn. I have my doubt over their effectiveness at extremely low temps, but I'll keep an eye on them.

I know lights like this used to get fire hot a few years ago - I can see those burning the p-stem easily. But these seem to be OK. I'll keep a close eye on them though. The outer p-stem leaf getting burned though - would that really do harm to the plant as a whole? Since leaves come up from the center, it'd have to be a pretty bad burn I'd think.
