Does your UV Flood Light generate extreme heat during operation?

I am trying to get information to be able to accurately purchase lighting for our Puppet Ministry. I need 365nm so looking at the floodlights. They will be permanently mounted to our ceiling. Do they get hot? I may need 2 but think of trying 1 first to see if the "throw" & effects are appropriate. 

For installations where the optimal fluorescent effect is preferred, we recommend the 365nm option that you have referenced. We can further confirm that these products are not expected to generate an inordinate amount of heat during operation, and have attached a link to the realUV™ LED Flood Light UV Irradiance Pattern document which we hope is helpful. 

​It might be helpful to know that we recommend safety precautions with any installations that utilize our ultraviolet products, such as the realUV™ LED Flood Light. Both the 365 nm and 395 nm wavelengths fall under the UV-A wavelength range, which is a weaker form of ultraviolet radiation that is found in natural daylight, so there are fewer concerns than other ultraviolet products that fall under the UV-B or UV-C wavelength ranges, for example.

That being said, below are some general safety guidelines that we would recommend following:

• The ultraviolet emitters have a very high intensity when used at a very short distance, but less so at longer distances. Therefore, ensuring that people or animals do not come close to the UV source can help reduce the risk of any eye safety issues.
• Ultraviolet energy is mostly invisible to the naked eye. It can be difficult for the vision system to recognize a high level of UV “brightness” and produce a natural response to squint or look away, in the way that natural white light would.
