Great for lighting up a safe
I bought this LED set to light up the interior of my safe. My safe is in my garage which has lights but they are not nearly bright enough to make finding things in the back of my safe easy. This set has six LED bars that come off of a motion sensor. The sensor has two power lines so the lights can be strung from a central point going opposite directions or the bars can be strung in a single chained line going one direction. My light set also contained spacer wires so the light bars could be spaced further apart to meet different configurations if needed. One nice feature besides the spacer wires is the fact that all the light bars and the sensor come with sticky tape on them. I had no problem mounting all the components to my safe walls which have the felt like covering most safes come with.So just a few things about the lights and installing them. First, these lights are very bright, far brighter than I expected and more than enough to light up my safe as you can see in the picture. My garage lights are on but the lights in the safe make them seem feeble. I mounted the lights going up the sides on the front inside corners and mounted the sensor on the side wall by the safe door. Play with the setup before pulling the sticky tape. Depending on the size of your safe you may want to arrange the lights differently and you don't want to ruin the adhesive on the tape before you are ready to mount them where you want them. Second, I suggest going to a craft or fabric store and getting some Velcro wrap, which is hook on one side and loop on the other so it's all one piece. I used this to secure and cover the longer run wires which: a) I think looks better and b) Keeps the wires safe and out of the way when putting things in or taking things out of the safe. One last thing, mount the sensor close to door where it is least likely to get blocked. I was tempted at first to hide it in the back where it would be less noticeable and less wire to hide, but as the safe fills up the sensor is less likely to see through the massive forest of steel barrels and stocks. I ended up mounting mine on the sidewall near the door opening and covered the wires with the Velcro tape. The sensor turns on when the door opens.To wrap it up, these lights are bright, easy to install, has flexible installation options, the sensor works great, and I would buy these again without question.

Amazing for my Liberty safe!
Really nice light set. I've messed around with a few battery operated ones that were just LED lights on tape basically, and they didn't stick very well, weren't angled properly, and the motion sensing was poor.This set was easy to install, and turns on when I open the door. I especially like that both sides of each light bar are angled at 45° and fit right into a corner shining the light whered you need it. The extension cords were a nice addition and much needed in my installation to get around the hinges, and if a corner didn't line up properly. My only gripe would be that the power pack cord could have been a bit longer as the extensions will not work on the power cord itself. I just made it, and would have liked a little more slack.I took the advice from another reviewer and ordered a 4 set in addition with a manual switch. The light bars work with this set, and I just didn't use the switch. I just used the light bars. My safe has 2 on the top, 2 on the bottom, 3 on the left side, and 2 on the right due to the hinges.Another tip from another reviewer, grab yourself some velcro fast wrap. Cut small pieces and wrap it around any wire you'd like to, secure with the hard side of the velcro facing out. Stick it right to the carpet of your safe and you can tuck all of your wires nicely out of the way.Pros:45° sides to fit in corners and shine into the safe.Sensitive motion detector.Easy installation.Extension cordsHard encased lighting (not tape)BrightCons:Power cord could be longer.

Perfect for Liberty Colonial 30
I installed this in my Liberty Colonial 30 safe and I’m quite happy with it. This kit is less than half the cost of the Liberty Safe branded light kit. I installed two lights across the top which ran into a small issue with the locking bar slot, but I used one of the provided extension cables and tucked the wire away into the safe’s ceiling (photo included). For mounting, I went to the craft store and got some 3/4” Velcro designed to be sewn on (so no adhesive) and folded that over the provided 3M mounting strips. That stuck to the carpet walls like glue and isn’t going anywhere. If I had that part to do over again, I would have saved time and money and just done an inch or so of the Velcro on each end of the light. I included before and after shots of my safe’s interior for reference as well. The motion detection has been flawless and fast. The instructions mention that there is a slight delay after you first power up the sensor, but after that it’s instant and this completely matches my experience. All in all, this is a great kit for lighting the inside of a safe. I do wish they offered the ability to buy extra light segments a la carte, I could use one more but not enough to buy a whole extra light kit.

Amazing for a Liberty Centurion 24 Safe
This lights work great for a safe. The sensor works like a charm, and every time you open the door they light up quickly. The provided 3M adhesive tape also sticks perfectly to the safe; I have some friends that bought other brands and had to buy their own 3M adhesive tapes.Pro tip for Liberty Centurion 24 (see image for reference):You can fit 1 in the top, 1 in the bottom, and 2 on each side. For bottom and top, it's easy: you can just put them right in the middle of your safe. For sides, you have choices. If you stick below the top shelf they will illuminate everything but one below the top shelf. So what I did, on the left side I put both below the shelf (so both side adhesives can stick), but on the right side one is hung with both adhesives, but the other one only with the back as I went through the shelf to have some light all the way (it's sitting higher than on the left side). It works great! For the sensor, I put knee high between the door and the shelf, in 90 degrees. It's a straight line to the power outlet anyway. Hope it helps!
