Our stuff is mostly rated to 40°C (a few to 45°C).  This is closer to 50°C.
Based on experience, I doubt that our COLORado units would have issues.  Our E910FC-IP (Outdoor rated color Leko) would probably be OK, too...
BUT this is out of Spec, and has never actually been tested.  So, It would be outside of warranty... Take this with a grain of salt.
