Sorry if this is a late reply as you already received and installed the safe, but I will give you my words of wisdom

I installed a power strip inside the safe so I could run the heat rod and lights. It is a pain to do that after it is in place.

I used to use the damp rid and that is PITA and a mess so use the rod. No mess. Seems to work just fine. Even in an AC house, you really want the lowest humidity you can get to prevent rust. So like the others said, the rod is the way to go!

For lights, I got LED strips and glued them around the inside opening. It really adds a nice touch. Do it - it is not that expensive.

At first I had it on a switch, but if you want to really go fancy, put it on a motion sensor plug in. You plug the sensor into the power strip and then the led light strip into the sensor. Easy peasy! That way they automatically come on when you open the safe! Really gives it that high tech feel!

Same here.
I keep that room low humidity and putting a heater in my gun safe does not equate to me

To each their own

Liberty LED light are super nice.

i run rods in all my safes even know they are inside an air conditioned room. i feel its cheap insurance

Since the new safe came with a power strip already installed, I plugged in the dehumidifier rod yesterday & it seems to be working just fine. It also came with motion sensor LED lighting which is as cool as everyone says it is.

I'm glad I bought several sizes larger than I thought I would need 'cause my meager collection has almost filled it up. If/when I add more I'll have to get creative. Looking into pistol racks now but with all my other projects going on, it may have to wait. Any suggestions?

I used this to free up some space in my safe.
