Any idea if this will work guys?

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.


Its a proxima DP5100 (3 LCD VGA resolution PJ). It originally had a 240W MH in there. I would like to drill a hole in the top and bottom of the light compartment and put a T15 style (tubular style diamer 1 7/8 inch) MH bulb in there

Its 3.5 inches deep, and 4.5 wide by 5.5 tall. There is a blower on the left side. I would place a pusher fan in the back to add airflow.

My goal would be to put a glass fresnel at the front of it to make everything parallel to the optics (there might already be one but 2 cant hurt right?) I'd like to center the envelope of the tubular MH bulb so that it matches with the center of the circular center opening.

I plan on using a 400W 5200K bulb with a 90 CRI if possible. Does anyone think this might work. or want to give me advice on where to drill the hole for the bulb...ie do i drill it closer to the aperature or further away.
