Are my bulbs going to be too hot?

[toniC]

I just bought one of these "NutureLite" 75w bulbs... is this going to be too hot to be placed inside of a cabinet? I have another 150w bulb which gets very hot after awhile and im considering taking it back. Could anyone tell me what I should do?

What ya need to do is get the temp of your room? This is the only way your gonna be able to tell IMHO.

Do you mean the room the cabinet is in or the cabinet itself?

I think he means in the cabinet! Testing outside the grow room is almost irrelevant. You say you're in a cabinet? Heat also goes hand in hand with how big this cabinet is, care to share? :hubba:
