Just go faster and it will keep it cool!

I think you would need a LOT of bike lights on max power before your bars would start to melt!

They do rely on air cooling. If you stop for a period of time, lower the brightness, or turn it off, or it will overheat. Doubt if it would be enough to damage bars.
