Mini greenhouse

I bought another 2 tier mini greenhouse today, since I am going to be using both of the selfs know I need to put in lights into the bottom shelf which is in the mini greenhouse. My question is if I put lights into the greenhouse itself and attach it to the shelf will the get over heated and blow up? My temps in the greenhouse are 78-79 and humidity % is 82, will the lights blow up if I put them in the greenhouse?

The temp should be fine (my greenhouse gets to 105F in the summer sometimes) but the humidity can be a problem, especially at night when the lights are off. I have trouble with my ballasts not switching on in the morning sometimes, when the humidity is real high. I know that I'm pushing my luck with my current setup. There are water-proof fixtures at Home Depot and any lights can be used in them. They come in different sizes too. I know I'll eventually need to switch to these when my fixtures have had enough moisture.
 
Thats great,will at least now I know that they won't die on me for a long time I will buy some of those water-proof fixtures later when mine will start to act up.
