Gun cabinet lighting mod

[K_W]

I spent part of the afternoon working on a little mod for my gun cabinet.

I often had to get things in and out of the gun cabinet at night while my wife is sleeping, so I either had to turn on the light or use a flashlight. I also could not see in there if I heard a noise without turning on a light, which could alert an intruder or his look out. I solved both problems today...

I took a spare 12v 500ma radio AC adapter, panel mount plug, wire, a On-Off-On switch from RadioShack, and some self adhesive LED strips from AutoZone and modded my cabinet.

I used two 12" white LED strips for regular lighting, and two 4" red LED strips for night vision saving light in case of bumps in the night.

I think it turned out great...

Peace...

War...

Very nice! Been looking to do something like this in mine ( not happy with the fluorescent I have) I also thought about adding a automatic switch like a refrigerator.

Looks great! I bought a long white LED rope light to do mine and am planning to do a door switch and use some mirrors to help spread the light even more.

That looks extremely nice.

I wouldn't mind having a set up in mine. Thanks for the idea

I am considering refining the design... and maybe... doing this for some extra ammo money.
