Nice work.
Just a suggestion: Although the bulbs are floods, they do have reflectors. As a result, heat will be focused directly above. this will also add to the direct convection heat from the bulbs. The white interior will help to even out the heat a little, but may not be enough to eliminate hot spots.

1. Try changing to non-reflectorized bulbs.
2. Try putting a small fan inside to circulate. BTW, the electricity of operating the fan is not wasted. All the watts in operating the fan is completely converted into heat inside the box.
