There are a fair few in there, squirreled away in all sorts of places. I keep thinking of doing a modification like Greg has done with his for the main run, still might get it done this summer.
Freaking night-club in there! :shock:

Actually, very nicely done compared to my safes.

Hey, the LED lights are red, green and blue (all on to make white). Apparently they flash, follow each other and will go strobe if I ask them to. I've never asked them to.

It is handy having light in the safe when you are trying to find something at the back, under the rest, or picking ammunition out of the overhead lockers. I used to have a battery powered light, but was pretty much certain of leaving it on and coming back to a flat battery. Now I just flick a switch on the wall and it lights up.

I totally understand the lighting, and if I had a safe that good I'd go all nightclub on it to :lol:

One of my safes has a crappy LED battery light in it, which at least helps me get the guns out without hitting each other. My other safe is yet to get a light...

PS. I'd like to see a video of your safe lights strobing, preferably on Youtube so it will inspire others....

PPS. I'm going to fit mirrors to my safe. It'll confuse the cops when they come do an inspection "I want to see those guns in the back of the safe as well...."

If watching some overly produced computer animated disney crap 100 times rates as an education then you're in big trouble...given disney has never portrayed a two humped horse as being an intelligent animal :stir:
