Surely in real humidity (high 90s) merely heating the cabinet will not reduce humidity?

I have my stuff on the carpeted floor of my cellar office and it has a dehumidifier on 3 times a week to keep the damp down. I do hope that that will be sufficient to prevent fungus...

For preventing fungus in the tropics, I've read people get a cabinet to
house all their photo equipment, leather, binocs, and other fungus-prone
stuff. The cabinet is then heated from the bottom, e.g. with a 100 watt
bulb, to reduce the humidity from the usual tropical 100% & prevent the
fungus from growing.
