I went to Home Depot and bought a grommet. After measuring it, I drilled a hole in a corner of the safe and cut an extension cord so I could thread it through. Then I spliced it back together, and installed a 5 watt bulb receptacle and "voila!". 5 watt bulbs are those teardrop christmas tree bulbs; they keep the 30cf safe around 70*, and I have to replace the bulb every 4 months or so. I used to have a Goldenrod, but the safe always got too hot; I was concerned about drying out my rifle stocks and some heirloom documents too much.
