    Gun Safe light ideas?

    I got a Heritage Fortress Security Safe Braun today. Boy was it a job lol. 2 men only moving that thing at 688 pounds was something else. We tried to get it in the doorway and it ended up falling on top of me I thought I was going to die it was something else.

    back to the topic. There is no lighting in it and it's very dark. I was wondering what you guys used for lighting in your safes that didn't come with lighting. I have it in my closet so it's really dark not much lighting. I was thinking of those cheap little round plastic lights that you push the lens to turn on but the top of the safe is a material so I don't think it will stick good. I was also thinking of LED lighting on a switch that runs off batteries.

    Looking for your ideas and pictures if you have some..

    I got some LED strip lights at home depot, I double sided sticky taped them in the back under each shelf and on the top and leave them on all the time. I like it very much

      They are battery operated and run off one switch?

            are they bright enough for one? I rather have one switch to light the whole thing rather then pushing a bunch of lights on.

                          I used these same one but used the hook side of Velcro tape so it would hook to the "carpeting."

                            I use these in the storage areas of my travel trailer and they work great.

                              I also use the small round battery powered led lights. But instead of tape I used velcro. If I were going to do it again, I'd run an electrical cord into the safe and power a goldenrod as well as a string of led or Xmas lights.
