Greetings,
When I was living in Ghana (high heat & humidity) I installed a
light bulb in a cupoard or closet where I kept my camera equipment and left
it on all the time. The heat from the bulb is enough to keep things dry. I
know it works becuase I tested the moisture levels before and after. There
are probably more advanced and complicated ways of doing this but none of my
equipment had any fungus after two years there.
