Quick Glow Plug Question

Do the Glow Plugs cool down after the "wait to start" or "glow plug" light goes out? The reason I ask.... I just had a remote start/Alarm instaled with a 30 sec. delay to start. I have never seen the light stay on for more then 15 sec. when it's really cold. Is 30 sec. too long?
