LED 5050 cool white strips in Flourescent getting hot

I have installed two strips of the 5050 type non waterproof 12v LED lights into one of my Thin Lite fixtures. I really like the result except the entire fixture seemed to be very warm to the touch ...

Great job. I don't have any fluorescents in our TT, but in our house the kitchen fluorescents are starting to go. I am planning on converting them to LEDs. The fixture is 2 sets of 2 48 inch tubes so I figure 16 feet would be about right. I may have to double up and replace each tube with a double string of LEDs. Just need to remember to get the 12V power supply.
