Sorry, but there's no way that ur compact floro's dont get hot, after being on for 2 wks.. My other hobby is reef tanks, and I know a shitload about compact floros (I manage 2 pet stores too)
U wont have a problem if the floro's get hot.. I run dual 96 watt PC's (36") over my planted fish tank, they get hot but they have never exploded.. Every PC that I have ever run has always gotten hot.. It's a lightbulb, it's going to get hot. What kinda ballast are u running them on, an electronic, or a magnetic??? An electronic ballast will run them a little cooler, but they still wont be cool to the touch or anything...
