...Will someone smarter than me please help me out....

[DWill]

I'm not exactly the brightest bulb in the pack when it comes to wiring things up, so I'm hopeful that someone will take pity on me and please help me out.

I built the cabinet, okay I did the drawings and kind of watched as a friend built the cabinet in the picture.

What I want I want to add some lights inside. Not too much of project, nothing multicolored... just some LEB fixtures.
These, or something similar...


Easy enough... except.. I would like a magnetic (or whatever might be better) switch on the door(s) so that when I open any of the three doors the lights come on.
If it were one door with one switch I'd have no problem... but... it's three doors with three switches and I'd want when any one door opens the lights to come on...

That is far over my electrical skills...

So, if anyone could help me out; maybe even post up a little sketch of how to do it I would be forever grateful...

I would probably just use motion sensors, easy installation and they make some specifically for led strips..

Wire all three switches in parallel. That way any one of them will turn the light on.

The motion sensor is a good idea but if you don’t want that that, you could use some micro switches. Tegg 2 PCS Cabinet Lamp Switch Wardrobe Touch Switches Drawers Light Switch Open On Close Off Ultrathin Black - - Amazon.com

You could wire them parallel, like @sailorman suggested, but you would need to wire a receptacle to be controlled by the micro switches to plug the lights into.

Thanks to everyone for your help. I’m going with motion sensor in the main sump area and a door switch on the equipment cabinet side.
