I'm currently living in Japan, and I'm having some concerns regarding the humidity. For those who've never been here in the summer, it feels pretty terrible. For now, I'm running a fairly large dehumidifier in a room that has my camera and lenses. It's kind of a half-way solution though. My plan is to get a small/medium sized humidity-controlled case with a few shelves for my camera body and lenses. Should I be concerned about strobes in the humidity though? I'm hoping to have three Einsteins here by late July or August (who knows, could be later), and I'm just wondering if it's worth getting a larger case so the strobes could fit in it as well or if it's unnecessary/overkill for strobes. My guess is the latter. Thanks.

for everyday use in the same building, there should be no worries. However, if you go from cool A/C and dry to hot outside and humid quickly, you may consider the wrap-it-in-a-bag-until-it-warms trick. This keeps condensation on the bag and not the contents.
