I have a feeling that the pic of him holding the bulb was just after it came on. I would be willing to bet that you cant hold it after it been running for a minute.
I had to try it for myself, I hooked up the ballast and left the light on since my last post (I can't see the time on it, I guess because it was posted today) but, it's been on for over an hour and I can hold the bulb at the end like that picture shows in my gallery. The cabinet, PARTIALLY CLOSED OFF, is at 88 degrees without the fan on. The end of the bulb is cooler then incodecent bulbs I have touched. Sorry I can't be more specific with actual temps on the bulb but I don't have that kind of equipment.
