Hello!
If you are building a covered enclosure, there is not need for a humidifier. Just a thick (4-6 inches) layer of damp substrate is enough to maintain humidity.

For ambient light you can use Arcadia Jungle Dawn LED bars (but they are more expensive than alternatives), household LED bars/panels like LEDVance Sun@Home, non-colored grow lights e.g. Sansi LED. There are a lot of options.

To get a better advice can you tell dimensions of the new enclosure? Maybe post a sketch of the cover or a photo of work in progress?

Something like this should work:
