There may well be planets that are as hot as Earth or even Mercury
around such stars.  They'll just be tide-locked.

The ones further out, though very cold, will not be dark.  We have an
amazing ability to adapt to overall lighting levels.  A *brightly* lit
interior room generally gets rather a lot less than 1 W/m^2 of light
power.
