The tubes may not become very hot, although I wouldn't want to
hold the ballast for more than an nanosecond.

In my last house I tapped into the single bulb socket that was already in the garage. I replaced it with two contractor grade balasts and two ceiling fans (dallas). The light was great and the airflow was a help. The cost wasn't bad because it was a compromise with my wife. We replaced contractor grade lights inside our house with nicer ones then used the old ones in the garage.
