>I don't know about where you are, but where I live, regulations require two layers of insulation between you and mains voltage.
I live in west-europe, so I guess we must have pretty strict similar regulations. Would you recommend taping all cables with electrical tapes as an extra safety measure?
>I'm also concerned that the metal screws might be live.
They are, would electrical tape not suffice?
>An easy way to deal with this might be too stack a second lid on top, although that does increase the risk of overheating.
I can do this and will do a test day to see how high temps go.
>Is there a suitable fuse?
All electricity in the house has fuses in the general fuse-box. Is that fine? I was also thinking of adding this: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01N9NP1CV/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&psc=1 as an extra safety measure just in case.
>Can the wires carry enough current? (They look okay, but I can't be sure just by looking at them.)
It's electrical wire I just found in the house. It's a single copper wire with about 1mm thickness. Thickness looked fine to me, but I wouldn't know tbh, I'm not electrically adept at all.
>What about heat dissipation? What will happen if your cooling fan fails?
I would like a way to shut down the lights if the fans fail, but I don't really know how to do that. I thought about using this: https://www.amazon.com/Inkbird-Max-1200W-Temperature-Controller-Greenhouse/dp/B07PVBG8K1/ It has a temperature sensor and you can shut off your "heating" in case it gets too warm. So if my fans would fail and it gets too hot, the lamps would shut off. And I also can get notified on my smartphone.

This is the fan set-up: https://imgur.com/a/rny1aXL
Found this really nice connector thing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MAU7QD4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
How about something like [this] (https://www.amazon.com/DEEPCOOL-Supports-Non-PWM-Occupying-Motherboard/dp/B07DDC27BD/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=4%2Bhub%2Bfan%2Bpower&qid=1566899732&s=gateway&sr=8-5&th=1&psc=1) along with a [power supply] (https://www.amazon.com/Belker-Universal-Adapter-Household-Electronics/dp/B078LSVVTB/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?keywords=variable+voltage+power+supply&qid=1566897647&s=gateway&sprefix=variable+vol&sr=8-7). Each fan should draw a max of around 120mA and this unit provides 500mA, or 4 fans worth.
Edit#?: [This] ( https://www.amazon.com/Power-Supply-4-Pin-Adapter-Splitter/dp/B01MAU7QD4) might help too. It should save you from having to splice any wires.
