Light for a gun safe

Yes, I'd just put a good flashlight inside, maybe even putting a bit of
rope on it (or chain if you want to get fancy) to attach it to the
inside so it will be harder for the flashlight to go missing.

"Go Missing?" How many people have access to this "safe?" If people are
breaking into OPs safe and stealing stuff, an automagical lamp isn't
going to have much effect.

I guess I wasn't clear. I want the dimming feature because when it is
dark and your eyes are adjusted to the dark you don't need as bright
of a light to see with, and don't want a blinding light when you open
the door. I am still planing on using a door switch of some kind to
turn the thing completely off when the door is shut.

The LT1932 can dim with a photoresistor,perhaps.

See the Linear Technology website.

Dunno, I have lots of things that only I use that seem to go missing
regularly. See the recent discussion of sox and writing implements.

That's what I was implying. The original poster wanted some permanent
installation. Keeping the flashlight tied to the safe makes it permanent.
It makes it even a bit harder to take the flashlight somewhere else
where it might be forgotten, and not in the safe when it's needed.

What if the batteries leak corrosive chemicals onto your expensive guns?

They would have to leak out of the flashlight first. I doubt alkalines
would leak that much.

Another clue would be a inoperative flashlight.

If he intends to leave the flashlight unattended for months or years,
and use the cheapest "heavy duty" batteries he can get, he could put
it in a ziploc bag. ;-)

Sure, but it seems that Rich the <fill in the blank> didn't get it.

A limerick packs laughs anatomical
Into space that is quite economical.
But the good ones I've seen
So seldom are clean,
And the clean ones so seldom are comical.
