GCE61Installed motion sensitive LED's in gunsafe
I finally got around to installing these LED lights in the gunsafe I keep in my office for hunting guns.
It's an easy install, just load the batteries into the battery pack, peel the tape cover off and stick the lights onto the inside of the safe. Then plug in the battery pack and motion sensor and your ready. I pulled the back of the sensor body off to adjust the pots for sensitivity as the guy says in the video.
Also, my safe has steel interior and the tape didn't stick well in areas so I took small pieces of dust tape to hold the corners up. Works great!

MikeinNCVery nice.
I did the same to my safe but was able to run AC power into the safe due to its build.

I helped my BIL install 4 of these in his safe. Got it from Lowes. It is motion activated and magnetic, so you can postion it anywhere inside the safe. $5 each

Hamden106I have a similar light. Works good except it is hard on batteries.

Same for me.
Except when the batteries die out and I'm in Home Depot, or Harbor Freight, or whatever, I tend to end up with a new set/type of lights instead of new batteries.

comet24Nicely done.
I put one I got off Amazonin my safe a few years ago. It has a magnet back and sticks where I want it.
If your safe is in an area without a lot of light like mine it makes a big difference.

2AdefenderThanks for posting this. I have to replace the motion sensor lights in my safe, they don’t work very well.

The other is a few AR’s, riot shotguns, .22 rifles, a 1942 (or ‘43 I can’t remember) M1 Garand, and a few pistols. I keep a variety of ammo in there also to feed most of the shotguns during bird season.
My office is there and I’m trying to buy the building, which would then become the ManLand Storage Facility! Harleys, guns, fishing gear!! (Wife ready to kill me !)
