LED bar getting really hot?

I'm trying to pick out UCL for our kitchen remodel. At the moment I have two different bars at home. One from Home Depot (Hampton Bay I think) and High Brightness Premium LED from Environmental Lights. And this is what's really puzzling me - the one from Environmental (a 12" bar 240 lumen output) gets really hot when plugged in. Hot enough that I can't keep my hand on it for more than a few seconds and I can feel some heat throught the bottom of my cabinet. The other bar from HD also gets warm but not this hot. I thought LED bars are suppose to be cool to the touch.
