I would not like super hot. It would make me worry. But then again, I am a worry wort. Im curious though since you posted this on another thread,
"My 1000 watt HPS light says I can only run the light for 12 hours. I'm in the veg stage and I wanna run it for 18 hours. Can I do that even though the box says no?"

Could this have something to do with it getting hot?

I just wanted to consolidate your problem into this one thread so that those with experience with these "hot" lights and ballast can better analyze your situation. I run cool fluorescents.
