Here's the thing to do. Go to Lowes and find where they keep the lamp parts, sockets, harps, etc., and look for this:

Out of the package it looks like this:

You carefully cut a 1 inch hole in the puffer, and add a small Xmas light/night light bulb to your fixture. You squeaze the tangs and put the socket partially in the fish, so the fish hide is in the groove, as in this picture with cardboard:

And from the inside, you won't have the hot bulb near anything. Very easy.

Then figure out how to hang the thing, which you already should have accounted for.
