Pics of illuminated safe? Trust me, they are bright as fuck. I have three strips on my patio. I had to install a dimmer because they were too bright. I also have them for my safe, just haven't had time to put them in. I bought a red strip for night vision too. 
Be sure to buy the waterproof version that OP shows. |

Got my safe about 2 months ago and wasn't happy with the lights I ordered in it. Found this on Amazon LED Light Kit It was super easy to install - 3M tape sticks right to the carpet on the safe and won't go anywhere. only real downside so far is need to install a switch for when the door opens. it comes with a remote to turn them on and off and that works fine for now. Kit is bright enough to see everything, I may add another roll of lights just to get even more. I put one of these door switches in my safe. Works great. Rockler switch |

Pics of illuminated safe? Eh, not wanting to post pics of inner safe - but I'll say it is plenty bright. Can see pretty much everything i need to. I think a second set running along the back wall (I put this set around the door) would be blinding |

Is there a way to convert these to battery powered?

Or you can dig through that pile of phone chargers you have and look for one that outputs 12v dc, a little soldering work and a magnetic switch and you have a light strip that turns on when you open the door. |

They also have a magnetic switch on amazon that several guys here have used. It's about $5 and easy to install. I'll see if I can find it. I've had these on mine for about 2.5 years and they still work great.
edit: switch another one |

It's LED...generates no heat and uses almost no electricity....just leave it on 24/7. No need to complicate it with switches.

I bought this for my safe a while back, definitely recommend it especially with the motion sensor.
