Mini Lite Storage Light?
Has anyone added lighting to the storage compartment of a mini lite - specifically a 2509S?

I have a 25bds and use those small led hand held lights from harbor freight. I leave one inside each storage door.

I put battery powered self adhesive puck style lights in both of my larger storage bins. Available at any hardware store and they really help. Not the same trailer as yours but a bin is a bin.

I used the HF led light with the conventional flip switch. Mounted it with 2 short sheet metal screws. slides off the screws for battery change. Up on the top of the compartment and out of the way. Works awesome. $2-3 depending on the sale flyer

X2 LED 3-AAA batteries. Got two seasons out of them so far. Two in front storage. 1 each in master bed closet, 1 under med cabinet in bath. I've put several down at our cabin in MO. Love em.

Was considering wired lighting in the storage of our 2511s, may do it one day. I just mounted tap lights to the roof of the compartment. Been working out ok. Also have a battery motion sensor LED that I hang behind the steps when setting up.

Ditto with the battery operated led light switch kind. I used command strip Velcro to attach em to an inside wall of each compartment on my 2509s, and they work great. I can take em out in the winter to save on battery life.

Nice job, 01tundra! Where did you get the lights and the switch?
The 2509S has a murphy bed which encloses the storage area so a light like yours might have to be attached to the wall (like yours is). I really like your storage area - ours is pass through but each side has an offset which makes the pass through less convenient.
