Smart Safe Light Turns On and Off Automatically
Wouldn’t it be great if the lamp in your safe would switch ON as you open the vault door, then shut itself off automatically when you close the safe? Well, that is now possible with the new Automatic Cordless Vault Light from Lockdown (a Battenfeld Technologies brand). This unit features 25 LEDs to provide bright illumination in your gunsafe. A sophisticated, automatic light/motion sensor turns the vault light ON when you open the vault, and then turns the unit OFF after you close the safe. This nice bit of technology retails for $40.99. That’s a bit pricey, but the convenience factor may justify the investment for folks who access their safes frequently.
Product Description
- Automatic ON/OFF operation triggered by light and motion sensor
- Two 25 LED lights with 70 Lumens output each
- Uses 3 AAA batteries each (not included)

There is also a smaller, less expensive 5-LED dome model with a light-sensing mode that turns the unit on as you open the vault door. The 5-LED Automatic Cordless Vault Light can be set to automatically turn on as the vault door is opened and ambient light is detected. A selectable, manual on/off mode is incorporated as well. MSRP is $14.99, product number 222809.

How long have we had that technology in our fridges for?
Editor: Good point, but your refrigerator probably uses a simple spring-loaded contact switch to make a circuit when the door is open. Until safe-makers add such a feature, some kind of independent sensor is a useful solution.
Useful, yes as long as you don’t want the interior light coming on at an inopportune moment.
I bought a Cannon safe a couple years ago, has a hardwired LED illumination system incorporated. Otherwise I could have installed one of the battery-operated motion-sensing LED things I got for my wife’s closet last year, about $21 from local hardware store.
But do you really known its off with the door closed.
