Just curious if anyone has noticed how hot these light get? I just replaced (6) sb light with (6) 32's and the temperature in the hood is much hotter. Even touching the lens is borderlining on burn to the top of your fingers (not the pads).
Has anyone else had this amount of heat and how long can these lights sustain temps like this. Its a little unsettling after the cost put out to upgrade.
Anyone please chime in.

I just ordered a couple of these myself. Do you think it may be a lack of ventilation in the hood? Maybe the fans are getting enough fresh air to cool them down.
