EB Gen 3 Slim maximum humidity?

[weedabix]

Hi,
I have built a light for my nepenthes (highland tropical pitcher plants) with Bridgelux Generation 3 strips. I want to have a humidity at 60-100% so I will need to run a humidifier pretty much non stop, both during day as well as night.
Do I have to worry about the high humidity?
If so, how can I protect the lights from that humidity?


Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Also thank you for providing all this information, I wouldn't have been able to build these lights without your generous sharing of knowledge!
If anyone also has experience with highland grow chambers - I'd love to pick your brain further!
best wishes,

I run my regular EB Gen 3 strips in a 64-70% humidity veg tent without issue. 100% humidity on any open electronics is going to have problems long term, my friend who made a DIY highland chamber out of a freezer had his lights mounted outside the box with a plexiglass cutout on the top of the freezer. I know nothing about the highland boxes, that's just what I seen for a bunch of his orchids.

That's super helpful, thanks for your reply! I guess I'll have to come up with something in the long run, but I will keep them in there at around 70% until I have to move house in 2 months anyways and will have to come up with a more permanent solution anyways.

Thank you,

All the lights I’ve run in 60-70% humidity have fared pretty well. Never had one fail on me from humidity yet.

Thanks LEDG that is good to hear!
And thanks for this platform and the shared knowledge!
