Paper ignites at 451 F (from Bradbury) and wood catches fire at 572 F. I believe in safety first, but while HID bulbs are hot, they aren't blow torches.
here's a pic of a box with interior of 24" x 46" x 75"
that is a 1000w of HID light shining (600w HPS and 400w MH) - the temp inside the box at the time of this shot: 63 F
moral of the story - i doubt you'll have any problems but before you put anything in it - run the lights for 24 hrs with a thermometer in there and then you'll know for sure.
