I've got 4 doors. but as long as one activates. The tape lights are nice too. Trying to make sure the heating elements were under water was a tight area to see in a small dark box.
I have two doors and I put the magnetic switches in line. So if either door is open the light will come on. It's also tied to my sump, so if any of the three doors open the light comes on. It saves me one spot on the Apex.

Never bad any issues so it's really not a concern to me :) As for humidity, I have most of my electronics over the tank with a glass lid and a couple of fans on. Humidity sits between 40-50% in the area.

No issues. Ever. Not so far. Three years in doing it this way and a handful more on a seperate setup :)

Not gonna hijack your thread with that btw :)

He hides my temporary power solution for the two smart testers and the waste containers. He does well :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

I used ribbon lights from Amazon. But I didn’t want to just use the sticky tape to put them up. Plus I wanted some resistance to moisture/humidity. So I put them inside a trim kit with a lense. Also from Amazon.
