Lighting Inside Safe - Page 2

The browning light, they say to just leave it on all the time for the warming/non-condensing effects. It is just a cold cathode ray tube. You can buy them cheaper if you buy as a computer "case mod" Note you would need both the adapter and (a few) bulbs:

Solve the switch problem by leaving it on all the time. Electricity use is minimal. You could also go with a refrigerator light switch. I know you said you didn't want to mess with all this junk, but you have pretty specific requirements and that often means you have to custom make things yourself.

some sort of motion detector light socket might work too. You could just add some cheap rope lights to it...

Thanks.

No need to keep a light on all the time, I have a Golden-rod for that and the safe is in a well-controlled environment.

I called the local safe company and they no longer sell the ropelight kit. They do sell the Ft. Knox variety with 4 or 5 fluorescent lights for ~$250/kit.

Best bet seems to be either the DIY approach or the kit for $99 mentioned above.
