Hi and :welcome:

The heat from the halide lamps will reduce the output and life of the fluorescent lamps if they are too close together. If a configuration that keeps them further apart it not possible, personally I would at least try to use some fans to help alleviate the problem.

Yeah, the heat will make the phosphor deteriate so that it won't give off light, making part of your tube dull.
