Default "humidity tent"

I want to increase the humidity on my florescent light fixture. I understand there is a plastic "tent" that can be draped over the fixture. Has anyone heard of this? Where can I get one?

Have you tried Lee Valley, they have those mini plastic/polyethylene greenhouses for extending the season?

One of my light set-up is a tube steel fish tank stand with 6 4' fluorescent tubes. Around the unit, I simply used a sheet of polyethylene - like what is used for vapour barriers in the wall of your home. I used removable Draft Stop chalking (it is like silicone, but peels off when you are done with it) to stick the poly where I needed it. The bottom edge of the plastic is tucked into plastic seed trays, where I have broken clay pieces and water for humidity and it is topped with egg crate.

This contains the water from going everywhere and helps keep the humidity. I only have it on 3 sides, but can easily add one to the front if I want the humidity higher.

I can snap some pics of the set up and put them in my album, if you want to see what I mean.
