Step 2: Clean The Walls of the Safe
Before installing your gun safe LED lights, thoroughly clean the walls of the gun safe. It will help your lights get attached to the walls easily if you are using LED lights with Sticky back tape.
Step 3: Check the Bars Areas
If you don’t want your safe bolts to hit LED lights, you better determine the right place to install them. To do so, use a camera and flashlight. Put your camera and flashlight inside the safe and see where you bolts hit the walls. Once you have got a clear idea, move on to the next step. You can even mark the areas for better installations.
Step 4: Install the Gun Safe LED Lights
Now, attach the LED lights to the places you want them to be. You can use small wood screws, adhesive clips, or super/hot glue for a better hold. All will work better than the sticky back tape that comes with an LED light.
Mount your sensor motion right on the shelf hinge. Carefully connect all the wires of LED lights with sensor motion so that all the lights lit up when your sensor motion senses your movement around it. Ensure every part of your LED kit is connected correctly at the end, and you’re great to go.
