the only way you can keep the same humidity is to have a vented hood so that you can have a separate intake and exhaust for your light. this will allow you to keep the same internal humidity (give or take a few %) levels as your external levels.
A cheeper way to do it is to ad a bowl/jar of water to your grow room. your light will heat the water causing the humidity to rise, but this also depends on the light(s) you are running.

as campfire stated, the light will drop the humidity a bit if your using a HID light.

If the exhaust fans are running more when the light is on then I would say that is why your humidity levels drop in the day. 40-50% is not too bad.
