Hello everyone!

I`m planning to get fluorescent fixture ( 4 feet long ) to put over my
shelving unit. Also, I would like to cover the shelving unit with
plastic to increase the humidity level.
Question: Should I be concern about humidity and electric fixture and
rust? I will add some fan to create an air movement but I `m concern
about the possibility of rusting ?

Thanks

Claude



I would watch out for heat build up.Fluoroesent fixtures put out a lot of
heat.
Most orchids do well with the same humidity we like around %50.
