Under cabinet lighting.

[Gareth elliott]

Hello looking to illuminate inside my cabinet with an led that turns on/off based on the cabinet open/closed.

Was thinking simple water proof strip purple led.

Any pointers or show off your own cabinet lighting? Would love to see how others light up theirs.

I am in the process of getting little led pods. Its three leds per pod and I'm getting 4 of them. Then I'm going to pick up a simple magnet switch from menards or home depot and one piece will go on the door and the other on the cabinet. When I open the door the lights will kick on

I use this LED strip plugged into an Apex outlet. I bought the break out box and intended to wire a door switch but it’s just easy to use the fusion app to toggle on and off.

The strip comes with adhesive and I just stuck it all around the inside of the stand and tank botttom.

I got one of those led bars from Wally World. It’s the slim under cabinet light for around $10-15, they come in 2 sizes 12-24” and does the job pretty well. It’s a lot brighter than those DIY led strips. I’ve used those on my old tank and they don’t hold up well. They either burn out or discolor.

I used these, very bright but will be changing the switch to a mag switch.

If your referring to mine? The dial is a dimmer(which works great) the switch is inline. Magnetic switch on amazon

I also went the led strip lights from amazon, came in 15ft rolls, ridiculously cheap and easy. You don’t get to say that much in this hobby, pair them up with a magnetic switch and your golden, or any other color you want to be!

did you ever put in the switch? I'm thinking of three lights under the sump section and one under the dry side all off one magnetic switch. Are you still happy with these?
