No, they don't get too hot and if there's a fan in the room it's cool enough to keep CFL's around 2-3" away from them throughout your grow. Mine are looking nice and lush into week 7 and I just topped them down to 8-9 inches...The trick is finding the best arrangments for your lamps as your grow progresses. I have the bulbs screwed into the clip-on type with reflectors. They're lightweight and you just have to think about what and where to clamp them when you move them (and your pots) around. It's a little juggling is all. I started off just clamping to the edges of the pots all the way around and I'm using some bigger pots. I still have the flowering to go and that will tell me whether I should rethink the next grow for CFL's>HPS.
