    I'm an EE and use lots of different LED styles for various things (work and play). I was impressed with the products. Enjoy!

    I'm going to have to look into this idea as my "safe" has a rolled over front to which it should be easy to tuck rope lighting in all the way around... Thanks!

    I'll put a few pic's up soon.

    Medical problems, work, and a few other issues put the project on a back burner, but I'm ready to continue the work now.

    I've been using the battery operated LED tap lights in both the "puck" and strip configurations and they are just not cutting it.

    I looked at the components from elementalled listed above but it appears to be about $8/ft and you still have to provide the power supply and configure it yourself. Not a daunting task but somethign else to consider.

    I even looked at doing my own using less expensive components such as these:

    or

    http://www.tomtop.com/lasers-flashli...rip-light.html

    but I'm not sure how bright the EL lights actually are and I still have to do the work myself and provide a power supply, etc. with the strip lighting. So, I am going to order the package from litetech, upgraded to the AC power supply. Should even come with the door switch to turn itself on.

    Check E-bay for the inexpensive LED light strips, I got 5 meters of 3528 LEDS(150 total) and a power supply out of NJ for 28.00 shipped.

    Worked perfect in my Winchester 24 gun..
