Lew,
I wasn't casting aspersions {or any other kind of bait}. Sometimes that
'heat' is a cumulative effect . . . starts at 'just warm' and goes up while
your attention is elsewhere, or you leave for the night, etc. Not to mention
the accidental & unrealized movement to a closer positioning, etc.

Or . . . maybe I'm just more paranoid then most.

Absolutely.

You must keep the lamp far enough from the object being heated to
prevent burning of the surface.
