For an alternative, you could buy a glass cabinet / timber that is cheaper, attach it 5watt lights in it and set the distance from the light into your camera around 40cm for the temperature inside the cupboard can stay cool. Then put some silica gel to prevent mildew. It is advisable to buy Dry Boxes, because more secure in the camera storage.
