i have 1 in my stealth box setup and i just want to make sure it wont catch anything on fire or anything like that.. plz and thanks
If you can start a fire with the heat generated from a CFL you should get a Merit Badge. Most fire problems occur from water and electrical, electrical shorts, bulb bursting etc. A CFL touching a plant will "burn" it by slowly drying it out and crisping it, but it doesn't get hot enough alone to ignite the vegetation.
Yeah, my 105w cfl is a foot long, and if it touches a leaf, it only burns what it touches directly.I have mine about an inch away from my Blueberry and bagseed grow, here is a link. http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/517528-first-grow-diy-bubbleponics-bagseed.html
