Close the lid. They don't need air yet. It's still a seed.
You want high humidity and warmth. For a couple of days and they will pop out.
Then back in the tent with the MH bulb as high as possible.
You can have any light cycle with seedlings. I've done 18/6 and 24/0 couldn't see much difference to be fair.
What i will say though is with 24/0 it's easier to maintain a steady environment with your temps and humidity😉

Can you not stick them in the airing cupboard or at a push on top of your sky box?
The light is not the issue it's the dry heat it produces. You need 90+% humidity in there and the light will dry it out to quickly.
Wrapping the box may work but you will need to know the temps in side the box. My guess is the box will heat up and continue to heat up too much.

Ok test the box first then mate.
Put a thermometer in the box, wrap it and then test it for an hour or so.
If your under 30degrees inside the box after an hour then go for it.
Don't forget to spray the inside of the box and keep it sprayed. Take them out and spray every 12 hours or so.
You should have signs of life after 48 hours.
Did you soak the seed at all before planting?

Reason I ask is because it gives the seed a head start.
I soak my seed for 12 hours in water and rhizotonic. This softens the seed casing to help the roots break through.
Then I put the soaked seed into a damp paper towel inside a damp tuppaware pot all sealed up. I put the pot in a cupboard on top of my modem where it gets nice and toasty around 27/28. 24 to 36 hours later I have a nice tap root.
Then I plant the seed into my soil with a humidity dome on top. Within 24 hours they will pop out the soil and start the seedling process.
Basically you need that tap root before you get a plant. By doing what I've advised you, you are doing the paper towel part I do just in a pellet instead.😉
I hope that makes sense mate.😁
