Adding Lights to Kitchen Cabinets

We have a rear kitchen in our Mountaineer. Every time we want to get something from the cabinets, you have to turn on the ceiling lights or use a flashlight. I went to Menard's & bought 8 puck lamps. These are the small 2 " lamps that you see mounted under cabinets. Each lamp has a Halogen 12 volt bulb & is rated at 20 watts. They are 12 volt, so you can use them boon docking. I installed 2 lamps per cabinet with separate switch's for each cabinet. For on-off switches, I used the automotive dome lamp switches that turn on your dome lamp when you open the door. These can be purchased at most automotive parts stores. I wired them into the existing 12 volt lamps under the cabinets. I left them all on for about 15 minutes to see if the fuse would hold it.... No problem there. Below are before & after pictures.
Now, my DW is happy!

Roy
