LED Cabinet Light Switches?

I am looking at adding LED strip lights inside some of our cabinets to light up the shelves. I want to add switches to the doors to turn the lights on automatically.

I used to have a link to a company that had several different types of switches for this purpose but somehow I lost this link on my computer. Do any of you have a link or recommendation for this? I am using 12 volt LED adhesive light strips from Super Bright LED's

Thanks for the info but that only provides links to wall switches. I am looking for switches that mount on the inside of the cabinet door frame and turn the lights on when the door is opened.

Have you tried Googling "micro switches"?

Try www.kenselectronics.com to see if any of their switch selection will work for what you want to do.

I think I've seen some on a woodworkers/cabinet makers hardware site before. Maybe Rockler or WoodSmith?

Pantry Lites

I added a 16 foot strip around the inside of the pantry and what a GREAT difference it made. I used power from 12vdc lite at the top and just use that switch to turn on. However your door switch sounds good. I think I'll try it. I needed to cut off about 2 feet at the end. Cut lines every 3 LEDs'
