Should I get a room dehumidifier and keep the equipment in that room? Use dessicant packs?

One thing I plan on doing is giving everything a "sun bath" 4 times a year so the UV-C in the sunlight kills anything that was thinking of growing.

Thanks!!

I used to sell photographic equipment. You should not store your equipment in a pelican case or any of the many knockoffs. Reason, your. home is air conditioned. You take your colder and dryer than the outside equipment,. you open your case to use your equipment and the moisture will condense on your equipment.
