I have the FAT boy. I'd like to hear opinion on led light also. The two light that came with the safe pretty much suck. It was thinking about led rope lights.

I built something similar to the max my safe kit, except I used a magnetic switch to turn the light on and off with the safe door. That took some trial and error to line the magnets up correctly, but nothing too difficult. If that velcro on the LED's don't work, I used a staple gun and stapled the strip to my safe.

Took me literally 10 minutes to install. Hardest part was trying to hide the wires, I only did a half decent job at it, will have to work on it later.
Very happy with the results, def recommend the Max my safe kit. I got the (2) 48" + (1) 20" kit.

I finally decided to get away from the battery pack with mine and bought the adaptor and motion sensor and ran power to it. This kit is probably the best bang for the buck out there and is very bright as well and is so easy to set up a child could do it. |

I just pushed it all behind my ammo boxes down on the bottom left, works pretty good. Am most likely going to buy an additional 20" strip for the bottom part of the safe too, just for the hell of it.... |

I would staynaway from the battery pack. I've had two of them and both ended up failing. Luckily the battery acid did not get on to anything in the safe. I have since installed AC power. I was a little ways to the outlet and had to cut the cord and resoilder everything back together. Still, it is a much better setup this way.

Bit more money than the DIY option, but high quality for a safe and collection that warrants it. Uses a 5050 LED chip instead of the smaller dimmer 3528 used in the light strips people are using.
