LEDs How hot?

Recently installed two strips of LEDs, one down either side of the interior roof. They seem fine and the remote dimmer is really useful as I can switch them on and dim them from it.
The question is how hot are they likely to get. They are on a flat strip of flexible self adhesive circuit 'board' and directly glued to the metal of the bus but they are sandwiched between the roof carpet and the wall trim. Not too bothered but would like to know of any potential problems anyone else may have had.

The heat output of LED's is generally almost none existent. I can leave mine on for hours and they don't get warm at all.

Got the LEDs from him as well

I knew Gill would say they were too bright then I spotted the remote. Works a treat.
