Doug, absolutely. I used to have water pouring down my windows, now, nothing. With MH, the lock on my front door rusted right through, I had to replace it as I couldn't get the key in the door.
MH run stupidly hot, I know I've got sunburn from working in the tank for more than 20 minutes. LED give off almost no heat. I also ran fans across the canopy to remove heat, which would certainly help move moisture into the house. No more fans with the LEDs
