This seems too good to be true. If the seller had a higher rating I might consider it.

It's not going to be "on axis" because the light source is displaced from the focal centre of the reflector; it's going to be "out of focus and shifted", but without testing it'll be difficult to know by how much.

Still think you'd have to cut holes in the popups to make the fans fit, though. Might wind up needing to water-cool them...
