Senior has difficulty seeing into the unlit cabinets under the counter and also some wall cabinets.

After Christmas I bought 7-watt (total) white LED Christmas light strings.
Strung one around inside the top of the cabinet under sink and it lights everything well!

Is there a way to switch on these lights when the cabinet door is opened?
Magnet switches (used for burglar alarms) would be perfect but are too low amperage.
Pressure switches found at building supply stores are too strong and would push the doors open.

Anyone know of higher amperage magnet switches or delicate pressure switches?

Thank you,

Robert

You may want to look at closet door switches (http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=5247&utm_source=Shoppingdotcom&utm_medium=CSE&utm_campaign=V9122&utm_term=rockler) like the one below.

Thank you, Harold.
That would be PERFECT!
But $22 each is too expen$ive.

I may make door switches using a regular light switch and magnet attached to the switch toggle.
Opening the door the magnet pulls a toggle switch pawl, turning on the light, and the magnet then "breaks away" as the door further opens.

Closing, the magnet reattaches and pushes the toggle lever off.

Still would prefer a (NO) magnet switch.
