Expert Reply:

The # STL22CCRB lamp you referred to is typically mounted in a grommet, like part # A70GB, which in turn is mounted in a bracket like part # 337LB1SS. If you were planning on cutting a hole to mount the lamp and grommet, the hole will need to measure 6-3/4 by 2-1/2 inches, as you can see in the diagram I provided.

The easiest way to cut the hole would be to use a 2-1/2 inch hole saw, and cut two holes 6-3/4 inches apart (measured outside-to-outside). You could then use snips or a rotary tool to remove the materiel in the middle.
