How hot?
the 4300k you refer to is the color temprature, in Kelvin. Kelvin has nothing to do (in this case) with temp i.e. degrees F or C. so dont worry about 4300k melting your body work.
I will best describe 4300k as cool white (think of a flourescent lamp
) in color, where as a 60w standard light bulb has a color temp of 2700k (aproxx).
Notice how it would have more of a reddish tint.

To answer your question, maximim lamp(bubl) temp. 550C about 1020F for a 150w metal halide.

It's related to temperature like this... If it were an incandescant lamp (not HID) the FILAMENT would have to be about 4300 kelvins (7300 degrees F) in order to produce about the same color.
Even for an incandescant lamp the glass envelope is way colder than the filament.
