Gunsafe Light

When I first got my safe, I played around with options for lighting and then pretty much gave up.  I just used little touch lights that never would stay stuck to the right place inside and I always carry a light in my pocket so it wasn't a big deal.  Well, today we were shopping and I saw some lights that caught my attention.  One of them was a "puck-light."  Just a round light that was activated by touch or could be switched to a photo-sensor.  Oh, very cool, so I thought.  Then I saw another light that interested me, but it was motion activated.  Hmmm, which one to get?  Mrs. 45er pointed out that it might actually be, I don't know, DARK when I really need to access my safe and grab something, so maybe a motion detector would be better.  Right there, that's the kind of thing I'm supposed to think of.  I call it a tactical brain-fart.  Thank goodness Mrs. 45er has spent entirely too much time (don't click here) hearing me go on and on about such things.

So, this is the one I decided on:

It was tough to find without the part number, so here is a link:

and this is what it looks like inside:

Of course, as I left the store with the light, I wondered how the (don't click) motion sensor would actually work.  I've had bad luck with such things in the past.  It turns out, this works really well.  You can set the light to stay on for 30 or 60 seconds after the last motion is sensed.  The part I really like is the swivel on the light, which lets me direct the light down through the rifle (don't click here) slots.  This is important, since my AR is usually kept in the lower part and isn't long enough to fit up through the slots.

I can see them perfectly when it is set up this way.  I think I will go get another one to mount on the other side of the safe.  I'm pretty pleased for less than $10.  And, to be clear for the FTC, I bought this.
