Not a B&M, tis a bar. They take 'mood lighting' to the extreme...

Looking into getting a Zero myself. This is great way to light the case. Thanks.

Re: Zero Halliburton Lighting Solution (step-by-step)

I tried this mod on my 40ct Cigar caddy.

I grabbed the caddy, and tried to place the light in the same location as the Hali.
No go, the foam isn't rigid enough to hold the light in place.
I started to look for another way to rig it, and pulled out the foam humidifier, since I don't use it.

The round mounting bracket fit nicely into the hole left by the missing humidifier.
It is also magnetic and clings nicely to the metal plate in the caddy.
With the bracket in place I try to put the light in and it wont stay in place.
The foam keeps pushing the light out of the bracket.
Next I looked for ways to secure the light to the bracket, I thought about glue or cable ties, but felt the bracket might not stay put.
I decided the foam was in the way, so it needed to go.

I slid the bracket under the foam, placed the light where I wanted it, and used a scissor to make little slits as I traced around the outline of the light.
I removed the light and connected the slits to fully remove the pieces of foam that were in the way.
Ta-da, it fit like a glove!

If using the foam trays, I would recommend putting smaller RG cigars in the top tray, since the light is a little thicker than the top foam.
If you pull out the trays and use baggies, it might be a good idea to cover your sticks with an empty tray.
Not sure if it's necessary, but I don't want to be responsible for ruining your sticks! :gary

Anyone know where to get the cool cigar curved foam? I have a case I want to do this to but it needs foam.
