Clever! I'm usually grabbing my flashlight when I go rummaging through my safe. I've got stuff pretty well packed in there, and if it isn't right up front (and on the top couple of shelves) I don't have good lighting to allow decent visibility. The safe is bolted down in the back of a large, L-shaped walk-in closet, and the doors don't even face the closet lighting to start with.brewster wrote:One last thing: I installed rope lighting on the inside of door frame, using adhesive clips (I ran it through the dehumidifier hole in the back). Hooked the light to an outlet controlled by a wall switch, and Voila! For $20 you can light every nook and cranny instead of paying for the fancy lighting setups.
I don't have a wall switch nearby that I could use, but one of those eight-buck extension cords with a toggle switch on it would do quite nicely.
I'm gonna have to try this, brewster. Thanks.
(And maybe this should be in the "How-To" Forum...and I may be contributing to thread drift again. But it is a pretty nifty, low cost, idea for safes.
