Put an exhaust fan at the top suckin gthe hot air out from the light and put an open vent in the bottom to allow cool air to flow from the floor up past the light and out the fan.

Without cutting holes ? You could get a cheap piece of thin plywood and make a door in the center and cut you ventilation holes in top and bottom.

You'll need to figure a way to seal up the closet and make ventilation and an access door for it.
