Well I got my Liberty safe (Pro Vault Model sold by Cabelas), and as most safes goes they will not hold what they say they will. Also, I found that the plastic Velcro gun rods used inside of a safe make it very easy to obtain space normally that you would loose! I have also came to the realization that the bigger doesn't mean better, except maybe fire rating or access into a safe door, and then again safe doors are a subject all their own. Last but not least I believe the Golden Rod was a great purchase!
Now, Onto the subject at hand...interior lighting. Now I am not real familiar with gun safes and the capability of electric inside of them by other manufacturers other than Liberty. I assume they have their own versions. Nor am I familiar with gun safe lighting.
I of course had a safe that was made to install electrical by being precut and blanked off in the event one wanted to install an electrical outlet kit. Again using the Liberty outlet kit is the only option. Very easy to install, well to anyone that has used a holesaw bit that is.
Well a recent trip to Lowes after looking online to see what they had and wholla. They have LED undercabinet lights in 12", 18" and 24" lengths that are slim and flat. Spendy however! I decided what the heck, so I bought two 18" ones and installed them and wow! These particular lights are dimable, and motion activated. Mounted very easily with drywall screws that the pre made holes fit in perfectly. The other neat thing is they contain a preinstalled wire/plug allowing you to simply plug as many as you want in and using only one plug in the power outlet. wiring is thing and not bulky and was easily stashed inside the partitions for a clean install. OCD won't allow me to have anything sloppy, has to be neat and in order and dress right dress.
So although I do not have pics sized to post, I will in a few days, what is everyone else utilizing? I did not want battery operated push stick on or mount lights cause they just don't have the light and battery's...ugh! Oh I also, got the bright idea to mount the motion detector, which is also the dimmer as well, where the door opens and closes, as it swings by it turns the lights off on closing and on upon opening! These things are da bomb!
