Electrical power inside safe

After plenty of research on the subject of lighting, I bought these items. Cost was a little over $50

I've thought of upgrading my lighting in my safe at some point - looks like a good option you've found.

Rent a mag-drill

It's how many drill bits it will cost me that turns me off every time

Not knowing the layers contained, I can not give suggestion

I've been using battery powered, motion sensor. They work great, just not cost effective for the amount of light they throw, or the batteries they will consume

We have a battery powered motion-sensor light on our front porch - it actually runs really well, and has been running for over a year now on one set of batteries. That said, I prefer the look and reliability of line-powered lights whenever possible. I like the warmer LED's too, which aren't usually available with the battery powered lights - at least not that I've found yet.

I looked for LED strip lights that were battery powered, there was a problem with draw vs longevity. Then I looked into (and I still think it's a very good solution) using a battery UPS back-up system for computers. Plugged in everything is surge protected, and fully charged. At loss of power, the internal battery carries the load for quite a long time, considering the mah draw of LED lights, it should supply power sufficiently.

Once I get everything lit up, I'm going to tie in the UPS and give it a try. I think it would work nicely.

Installed and tested last night. The picture does not do justice. The lighting is much better than what's seen in the image.
Here's a peek.
