Will 600W MH Burn the top of my Cabinet?

So The cab is 36” high, 46” long and 23” deep and primed with Killz White paint….Got the 600W MH NO REFLECTOR hanging horizontal 3.5” to 4” from the top. Temp in the cab right under the light are aprox 82 – 86 degrees F. Outside the cab right above the light on top of the wood it is aprox 72 – 80 degrees F.

Would the light eventually cause damage to the top of the cab? Scorch, burn or cause probs in general? Can I put up some mylar above the light to cut down on the direct light or would the mylar melt, burn, deteriorate?

Thanks in advance for any info.
