Installed my kit today. Had to velcro a block to the side of the safe door so it would hit the pressure switch. I double-sided taped the switch to the side of the safe. It's toward the bottom now. I may move it to the top depending on how I want to mount the battery pack.

I thought this was supposed to be AC or DC, but I did not see a way to run it AC. Ideally, I'd run mine AC with the DC as a back-up in the event of a power failure.

The velcro did not stick to my safe interior. A quick trip to Walmart for the "fuzzy" side and I was set.

Also, I had to make sure and put the light strips as close to the side walls of the safe as possible, otherwise, the bolts would hit them.

Likewise, on the top strip, I originally had them on the inside front wall, but noticed they would/ may have interfered with the re-locker bolt. (It normally doesn't move with the handle- but would deploy in the case of tampering). I couldn't really test it (since the bolt does not move) so I velcro'd the strip to the roof of the safe- facing down.

I'm happy with the result. Very bright and useable light.
