Greetings All,
  I have one of these gizmos (heating rod) attached to 
the inside of my son's piano. I can't give any specifics 
as to wattage, etc. but it works by gently heating the 
air inside the piano to drive off moisture and decrease 
RH. I must admitt I've never used it because here in the 
lowcountry of South Carolina we have two seasons: air-
conditioning (about 8 months) and heating (about 3 
months) which leaves one month with comfortable temps and 
low RH (usually March or April). Hint: guess what month 
begins tourist season?
  The above reason is why I've never had a lens fungus 
problem in the humid South. After shooting on a hot, 
sticky Summer day, I come inside, cycle the focus 
mechanism a few times on the lens and the AC takes care 
of the rest.
