Fun with LEDs

So, I had this old desk lamp which used a 20W halogen bulb, and a broken GU10 3W LED bulb so I came up with this project. I took the GU 10 apart and added the driver to the base, then removed the halogen socket and added the plate with the 3 LEDs in its place. Now I have a 3W LED lamp with a 10,000K white, royal blue and UV Led. Nice! SO far I've had it running for 2 hours and the head is only mildly warm. No worse than when it had the 20W Halogen bulb. Not sure what to use it for. I could make a really tiny reef with this 5" x 5" vase! I have this UV filter glass lense it came with, but not sure if it will make the LEDs get too hot. Opinions?
