Advice for the new cab regarding lighting

I bought a cab 31"H 21"W 14"D and installed 4 120mm fans, 2 on top and 2 on the bottom. For lighting i have a 125W CFL with hood and about 12-23W cfl's and I'm having some heat issues 86-93F in the box with an ambient temp of 73, just want to know how many 23W i need in total. I'm using soil (FF) and plan on having about 3-4 plants and do some low stress training to keep them small, I'll even go with lowriders if i have to. right now I'm just trying to figure out how many bulbs do i need, any help will be appreciated

why do you have that many fans in such a small place.... holy shit.

run two exhaust fans on the TOP... and leave intake holes on BOTTOM open fuck intake fans with this little cab..... the exhaust fans will suck air in just fine...
with 4 plants 12 23w cfls can suffice on their own but keep all the lights you have..

srsly ONE of those 4 inch fans is PLENTY to move air around that tiny place...(and actually i think you should, as ive grown in that space with ONE 3 inch exhaust fan and just as many lights)

edit: also was thnking since you have five thousand fans... you could take another and hang it in the room right below/ on the lights. This way when you put your girls up by the lights the fan will move air around your canopy as well as function as a cooling system. double whammy.
