Looks great. Although the lights dont really run that hot it cant be helping the temp problem. Living in FL be prepared to freeze all incoming stock with some of the methods that have been explained in other posts!

Nice :thumbsup:. Maybe install a switch so you can turn the lights on/off when you want. Do you need them running full time?

No I agree, it's nice with them running. Maybe just turn them on when you have company or you're wanting a little light to do something...like find a cigar.

I used the LED rope lights. The strips locally were kinda expensive I put 18ft in there.
I like the look you have created there.
In the uk you can buy the led strip lights on a self adhesive flexible "circuit board". You cut off the length you require from the roll in store.
I used 1 section about 2 " long to light up 1 shelf. Very cheap solution and very unabtrusive.

After reading your suggestion, reminded me of the "clap on, clap off" commercials... "Would you like a stick?" "Let me see," as he snapped his fingers twice. Voila! The cabinet lights up. And the guest's reaction is "Holy S***t."... lol.
I like the look! I'm not sure if long exposure to an LED will cause the cigars' wrappers to fade or discolor, meaning the oils in the wrapper slightly evaporate over time.... could be wrong though. Just a small concern.

Looks AWESOME!! thanks for sharing!!! makes me want one right away!!!
Looks pretty sweet! A few small fans on the inside maybe for the temp?
thats a great idea!
You need more cigars and boxes in there to take up space, sure will help RH and temps too. Air expells RH and temp more quickly than a solid object.

Gonna agree with Justin on this. Living in hot climates like yourself it's tough to control temps. Most will by cooling humidors or wine fridges. I'd ask Ron if he sells anything that can keep the temp down inside the cabinet. Short of putting it in the basement or an air conditioned room.
