    I use a 7w LED in the bottom of two safes....not so much to heat the safe but to create air movement from the minor heat differential. Check out museum archive storage.....they keep the air fresh by circulating the air.....mould, mildew and rust cannot exist in that environment.

    Wardrobes are not good places to have firearms because there is a lot of clothing fabric absorbing atmospheric moisture and releasing it as conditions allow.....and the air circulation is limited. Garages are just as bad when a wet vehicle dries off....one guess where all that moisture goes.....!

    Only problem with LED light spectrum it will fade things so make sure it is shielded and not reflecting directly on your walnut stock.....!
