Cabinet humidor seasoning and beads

When you are ready, I would put the smokes in first and let things re-stabilize - a day or two. The cigars will absorb some moisture and lower the RH in the cabinet. Then I would add the beads.

Funny how you change things so quickly. My rope light which is just a 2ft section is way to hot in the upper portion of the cabinet. Temps sitting at 75f even with the a/c on.

So I went out and got a 18 inch LED slim light for the top. This should lower the temp some. On the plus side I will be able to run the cord easier through the shelves. Just hope the bright white light looks ok.

Anyway, I will post up the difference when I am finished.

As always thanks for listening.

Sorry for the crappy pics, so damn hard getting the lighting to show up right.

Before - yellow dim light only on the top section.

After - Bright white light that shines down through multiple levels.
