Can a compact Fluorescent lamp get wood on fire?

What is the minimum temperature for wood to ignite and will a screw-in compact fluorescent lamp less than 50 watts reach that temperature?
The reason I'm asking is because I mounting 2 15 watts CFL's to a wooden hood I made myself with 1/4" plywood and I'm scared it might catch fire.
I'm making something like this but with wood http://homeharvest.com/homeharvest2000pics/HFCompactFixture350.jpg

Those compact lamps develop very little heat,
but it can build up over time if not vented.
As long as there is some air flow, you
should be all right.
A few 1/2" holes in the top of your Fixture
should do it.
