Any LED is fine if the fitting is open & well vented. In a closed fitting,
LEDs of same light output have a greatly reduced life due to overheating.

I have a Philips Hue bulb in the light beside my bed: a bare fitting in a
table lamp, with no shade.

The light part of the bulb gets barely warm. The base gets fairly hot: it's
bareable for 10 seconds but after that it starts to become a bit too hot to
tolerate.

And that's with no shade around it, so best-case cooling. It's rated 10 W /
70 mA / 810 lumen. And that's for maximum brightness at a fairly neutral
white.
