I thought CFL's were cool and wouldn't need to worry about heat. 4 - 42 watters have the rubbermade at 95 degrees with the lid on. Even with the lid off heat is 90+.

The glass part that produces the light is relatively cool to the touch, but the ballast gets pretty hot yeah. Even without the heat, you need ventilation anyway, fresh air =cool air. You can use those in a Rubbermaid with proper ventilation.

so you are growing inside the tote? you really need to vent that because if its just stale air that is really bad for the plants. also you really shouldnt grow inside a rubbermaid in the first place, because it is just impractical.
