GoldenRod Dehumidifiers ...
I use these. They seem to work well: https://smile.amazon.com/Eva-dry-33...&qid=1604806025&sprefix=safe+,aps,177&sr=8-17
A short strand of white Christmas lights will work. Has the added bonus of illuminating the inside so you can see when the door is open. Costs a LOT less too!
^^^FTW!^^^
Mine are 30+ years old and all are working just as good as the day I installed them.
They. 100%. Work!

Just be sure you mount them HORIZONTALLY (I.e., measure MINimum width ...)
my safe has a small hole in the back for an electric cord.
it is used for a heating element. i dont have a link at the moment, mine came with the heating element.
it is a great investment, keeps the humidity out and all of the paper products inside nice and dry.
If yours has the hole in the back, I would recommend the safe heater.

yeah, thats the one i have!!!

Only if they are incandescent and not LEDs. (Or maybe terribly inefficient LEDs would work.)A short strand of white Christmas lights will work. Has the added bonus of illuminating the inside so you can see when the door is open. Costs a LOT less too!

GoldenRods are just heaters (18" is 18 Watts) in a convenient package that raise the temperature inside the safe slightly, which decreases the relative humidity. It doesn't actually remove any moisture. That said, the principle is sound and they do work.
So for a Christmas light string to work, it has to draw at least 18 Watts to have the same effect.
Found this little chart of Wattage vs. size. Lights strings must draw the equivalent Watts:
GoldenRod, 12" - 8 W
GoldenRod, 18" - 18 W
GoldenRod, 24" - 25 W
GoldenRod, 36" - 38 W
