I assumed I did, with the wires close to the bulb. But perhaps the 5W
LED doesn't run as hot as the 50W halogen?

Most of the energy a tungsten consumes goes as heat. LEDs use less energy
for the same light output.

The very most heat a 5w LEd could produce is 5w. The very most a 50w
tungsten can produce is 50w.
