What brand of bulb? You could check the serial number on the bulb (anode or cathode end) against the box to see if they match.

Possibly a 3000HS bulb that would be about 3 + inches shorter or HTP which would be about an inch shorter than a common 3000W/H. End fitting diameter and use of thread or not would be different than 3000W/H...but it could be forced into the existing fittings
