    LED lights with motion activation for safes??

    My friend went to the Costa Mesa gun show and saw someone selling LED strip lighting with motion activation that came in a kit along with velcro to mount the lights for $40. I just came back from the Ventura show and did not see it there.
    Anyone on this sight selling that kit????

          An easy alternative...

          Having an electrical cord running into my safe for the Golden Rod, I've been using a Rope Light in my safe. It was a 120V set up that finally started giving out after a lot of years. Today I just bought an LED Rope Light from Costco. It's 18' long and being LED, runs very cool and should last darned near a lifetime. It attached with clips provided and snaked up the front corners, around the top to the back and down through around all the rifles. Illumination is awesome EVERYWHERE in the safe, now. I have a simple 120V toggle switch that plugs into the extension cord inside the safe and the rope light plugs into that.

          It was $16 and change at Costco.

            I got mine with my liberty safe. came with I think 6. They're great about 4" diameter. Run on two AA batteries and have worked for 3 years now. As soon as I open the door they all come on.

              I installed them through out the safe with the supplied two sided tape and some of my own self stick Velcro, works so much better than the two strips, I have each shelf area lit up and two along the side to light up the whole safe.

              I just got two more sets for the wife to put under the top cabinets in the kitchen. Well have several left over for me to add to my safe.

              I'll try to post pics later

              Three Costcos any town, one had none, one had five sets, the third store had
              tons of them
              I don't see them online at Costco here they are at Amazon, http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007SR...sr=8-1&pi=SL75

                          We use this one in our safe and the individual tack lockers at the barn. It has a magnetic swivel base that you can remove the light and use it as a flashlight if needed. We use the industrial type velcro to mount the base. It also shuts off after 30 minutes of no activity. We usually get them for around $10 to $12 at Lowes, and other local hardware retailers.

                            I'm pretty sure I had a bad unit, one if the lights worked fine the other never did, I swapped their positions and problem followed, so I returned them.
