Heat has to go somewhere. Better for the body to get hot then the emitter - that is the purpose of heat sinking.

Thank you.
I should have pointed out that test was conducted with the light simply sitting in a holder for the entire time so it probably reflects more of a "worst case" scenario. In actual use the Charlie will definitely get hot but maybe not quite as hot as what's shown in the chart.
