My initial search didn't give me quite the information I was seeking.
My gun safe is in a closet that is lit, but "well-experienced eyes" would like a bit more light inside the safe at times.
I found an LED set at Rural King, powered by six AA cells, and it's nice. For a couple days.
One would think that an LED light set would not be such a battery hog.
At first, I figured that the light set was on "auto" setting, and it was not turning off correctly. I moved the sensor farther from the door, switched to manual (wave a hand past the switch to toggle the lights on/off), and the new batteries lasted a day longer than before.
I saw a set at Cabela's for ten bucks, but it required the Liberty Safe wiring kit--another $45, if memory serves--and my safe doesn't appear to have the provisions for that (my safe is from American Security, purchased from a nearby locksmith company). I'm not in favor of compromising the safe's fire rating by poking new holes in it, but would like to find a light set that isn't so hungry with regard to battery life.
Ideas?
