Light Under Kitchen Sink

Re: Light Under Kitchen Sink

I went and did a little window shopping and Radio Shack carries a miniature limit switch that is a bout the same size as the magnets that are used to keep the cabinet doors closed. This would not act as a meat hook any more than the magnet does. It would have to switch a relay that in turn controls the lights.

I am opposed to manual control of the lights. If somebody is doing enough cooking, smart is a relative term. That is, minimize the number of buttons that need to be pushed.

Re: Light Under Kitchen Sink

There is another way to mount magnetic red switches. Mount tthe reed switch itself behind the cabinet door frame. Mount a small block of wood to the door and mount the magnet to the block or wood so that when the door is closed the magnet pokes past the door frame just the right amount to actuate the reed.
