Light & humidity will change drastically for your plant as you bring them inside. The best way to acclimate you plants is to start by brining them in at night for the first few days & move them back outside in the mornings gradually increasing the time inside as you go until they are inside full time.
Remember as you move your plants back inside they will not need as much water so allow the soil a little more time to dry.
