Do you get condensation on the pipes - i.e. do they sweat? Any dripping
water from the condensation might not mix well with that electricity
stuff that the lamps use.

If you have concerns, wrap the pipes with the type of insulation that
is made to prevent condensation. Better safe than sorry.

to be hung under the copper water pipes to the house. Bbad idea or
will it matter?

thanks!
