OK, I got thinking about all this and it made me want to question some of this.
On several occasions I have measured the temp of the floor joists above my stove. They have gone as high as 145 degrees on the IR, and my installation isn't nearly as boxed in as the OP's. Is it possible that this kind of heat added to the already hot lights could add up to a dangerous situation?
