No, it's slightly warm to the touch, but no way warm enough to burn a plant imo

It looks like the top I broke and taped on the PBSD4C actually made it!
I've broken/taped tops before and either they've looked fine and responded fine, or they wilted and died.
This top was totally wilted a couple hours later and I really didn't expect it to make it. Since it was at the very back of the cab I haven't looked at it for a couple days and totally expected to remove a dried/dead top this morning when I checked the plants.
I was really surprised to see it growing and I have to attribute it to the cool temps that these leds run at.
In my other micro cabs, the cfls and ventilation used to keep the cfls cool really suck more moisture out of the plants/soil then the led cab. That's why when broken tops wilted in my cfl micro cabs they always died.

how's things progressing blynx? that top still kicking strong?
Yep, the top is still alive.
I've also had to super-crop a couple more tops on the Chesaw and PBSD4A, but now it's looking like the stretch is finally over.
The tops are all about 4 inches below the light, but I expect them to end up near the lights as the buds get larger.

lookin really nice blynx. I espacially like the Chesaw 
This is dependent upon strain and ambient room temperatures. The bleaching is more caused by the intensity of the light than it is heat, as LED's produce very little heat. I've had plenty of plants touch the glass for days on end, and very few of them did any bleaching. The only place and time bleaching ever occurred in my own garden, was with certain strains during weeks 3-5 in bloom if they were too close. I say certain strains because the one right next to it could be a the exact same distance from the light, and show no signs of bleaching.
Agreed!
My plants are very close to the lights, averaging 2-4", with a couple buds almost touching the lights (.25"-.5") and I haven't seen any burning nor bleaching on them.
