The capacitors inside the bulbs will not fire if they are to hot. This is proven when you shut off a halide and try to fire it back up.Some can take up to 15 minutes before they will fire again.. The capacitor is designed that way so you have to wait til it cools before re firing it.. if you look at the inner envelope on the halide bulbs 90% of them have a lead to the capacitor im talking about.. so end to end bulbs isnt a good idea unless you have fans pulling/pushing right behind the mogul sockets..

Thats why i was wondering if this would be an issue or not.So far it's not, i ran the 2nd set for about an hr the first time.after the first set had been on for about 1 hr.then later today i fired the 2nd set up again after the first had been on for several hours.So i'll see what happens tommorow, i think i'm safe. i placed as far apart as possible.
