Jack, I guess that is a possibility, but I would think both tubes would have a problem. This setup has been as-is for a year+ without a problem, now I get 2 endcaps fried in as many weeks.
Funny thing is the centre of the bulb was fine to touch, but inside the endcap was like touching a MH bulb!! After 15 minutes, I still had to use a rag to undo the endcap.
Lee, they are Icecap ends, and they are rated for 220 degrees. The tube was way hotter than that.
