Hi everyone,
I've been thinking about a stealth grow for a bit now, but I've got a few questions.
I was thinking of using CFL bulbs for heat and price concerns. I'd really like LEDs, but those seem to be expensive. This may seem strange, but I was thinking of hiding a setup inside of one of those UPS boxes(link).

How hot does a CFL get typically? Said box is 3 inches wide, which is really small, but this is an experiment. Is there a chance it could start a fire? I probably surround it with foil, mylar, or something else, but say if it were bare.
The second issue is fans. If I just put hole(s) covered by carbon filter, and no fan, would that be suitable for a single plant?
Also, if someone could point me to a wiring guide, that would be appreciated.
Thanks
