rgvwheeler Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 What is everybody doing for lighting up the inside of a gun safe? Right now I have a couple of harbor freight battery lights but they are kind of hit and miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevyoneton Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I have the two little lights that came with my Liberty and they work OK. Although they seem to go through a lot of batteries. Which is no big deal as I use rechargables. I did add a garage-sale gooseneck desk lamp hung over the top to add some serious illumination on those occasions I feel the need. I would like some hi-speed, lo-drag rope lighting inside but haven't gotten there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyresq Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I just use a couple of cheap tap lights from Wal-Mart that attach with sticky tape. I put one in the top to shine on the handguns and another under the shelf to light up the long guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trgt Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Costco has for about $27 a four part LED light strip kit in our stores. At that price, I bought 2, and then used about 6 sections - attached them all the way around inside the perimeter of the door frame like the factory light installs I saw. I did have to put an outlet in the safe, but I was doing that anyway for the golden rod dehumidifier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trini Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I put a 2 LED light strips with remote. I stuck one on each side wall with high & one low. Lights it up great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerassassin22 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 If you have an outlet in your safe go and get some of those rope lights they are selling for Christmas the white ones and 1 length will light your whole safe well at least in my FATBOYjr.

al503 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I got the Ikea LED strip kit. It was on sale for $25. Here's a crappy cell phone pic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Anyone tried those LED lights with the motion sensors.. so the lights come on automatically when you open the door? Reviews seem hit/miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd7446 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I've got them in my safe. Bought from Amazon. I find they work good. Set inside just enough so that most of the time they will turn on when I'm just near the open door. Sometimes I have to reach inside the plane of the doors and they turn on. I'm happy enough with them. Sure, rope lights or LED strips would be nice, but I'm not going to drill through my safe for power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Which ones did you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd7446 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Can't get a link to post for some reason. If you search for "Wireless Motion Sensor Light - 10 Super-Bright LED" they are $7.05 each on Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snertley Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I put an outlet inside my safe that has a switch on it and use a rope light. Works great. I mounted the switch on the bottom and can flip it on with my foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
