Lighting for gun safes

[rgvwheeler]

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.

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.

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.

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.

I put a 2 LED light strips with remote. I stuck one on each side wall with high & one low. Lights it up great.

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.

I got the Ikea LED strip kit. It was on sale for $25.

Anyone tried those LED lights with the motion sensors.. so the lights come on automatically when you open the door? Reviews seem hit/miss

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.

[D.Hayden]

Which ones did you get?

[Todd7446]

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.

Thanks.. 2 for < $12.. worth a shot

You can also get some battery operated LED dome lights and not worry about wiring

I use the rope lights and leave them on. They are just warm enough to act like a dehumidifier.

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.
