coolmist humidifiers should I even bother?

I actually do use a warm mist humidifier. Partly to help myself (skin & breathing) in the cold, dry winter months, but I've been using it year-round on the floor in front of my growing shelf. The mist travels up from the humidifier, and my fan helps kinda suck the mist into the growing shelf. It definitely helps me keep the humidity up around my orchids. I'm able to keep a good range of 50% – 70%, with spikes up to around 90% in the summer days after watering. If I weren't running it in the winter, and I know this from using a meter, the humidity level in my growing shelf would drop as low as in the 30% – 40% range.
