dry cabinet dos & don'ts - from the horse's mouth

Just wanted to ask what happens if you set the humidity to 20 ish.... isn't the lower the moisture the better it is?
Hi, not sure if this is the right place but since all are talking about dry cabinet, I do have a question which hope to get some advise.
I am trying to get a dry cabinet and do not know which brand to go for. I know there are some chinese brand but I try to keep away from them as I am not sure about their quality.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I am using a digi-cabi cabinet nowadays to store my gears.
have fine-tuned the humidity to around 45-50 already. then electrcity always is on, until today forgot to switch off the electricity before I went out, and when I came back earlier on, humidity shot up to 71!
does that mean my cabinet has a leak or it is normal for humidity to shoot up if electricity not turned on?

Electricity needs to be ON all the time buddy.
yah, I know have to on. but meaning that if no electricity when humidity is at 45 for example, will shoot up to 70+ after a few hours?
is it leak or due to some other reason? :embrass:
The cabs are not pressurised (positive or negative) so yes there will be leakage. If the room had aircon I would expect less of a rise in rh so with the high humidity in no aircon room it is for sure possible.
Hi, is it advisable to put my toy cameras inside the dry cabinet? Also how long would the battery for the hydrometer last? Thanks

Hi all,
With all the talk about what or what not to store, and how dry it should be, I am wondering if there is a need for us to take out everything, give it a good mop once in a while e.g. like what we do to our homes during Lunar New Year.
Like it or not, there will be some dust accumulated there if we open and close the doors to access our equipments.
