Light Fixture and humidity... help

[OH23]

i have an exoterra 18"x18"x24" and im gonna make it a vivarium for a couple of RETF'S. now my Q is i want to use for light, the Exo-Terra Light Fixture - Medium and in the spesificatins of the product it says "DO NOT EXPOSE TO HUMIDITY" so can i use it ? does anyone uses it and have problems?

You would use a barrier on the screen to keep in some humidity. Suggest something inexpensive like sarran wrap. You might want to get something to create a gap between the light and the top as the light will put off heat and it might increase the temp for your RETF's to an uncomforatble amount. The types of plants you use will definitely be an indicator of what bulb you'd want to get. Also, post some pics, let us see what your working on.

Sinflspeed - thank you for the reply im only in the beginning of the process of building the new vivarium. it will take me some time but as soon as i start to actually build it i'll open a new thread with pics and updates... so stay tuned

I guess that's the standard CSA warning for home electrical products, no?

I don't think the humidity from your viv would damage your fixture - maybe after 10 years or somthing?
