I would like to instal some lights into my wardrobe, with switches that
automatically turn on the lights whenever the door is opened.

Seemed like a straightforward idea at the time, but I can't find any
switches that I could use to do this.

Any ideas, please?

Shouldn't be hard to find locally from Maplins, or an Electrical trade
counter.

I bought one of those and really it needs to be morticed which may not
be possible. OK as a switch though

I found a more generically useful one at RS, which unusually was not
that outrageously priced. 456-4643 at £6.60 exc.

This one has an overall plastic case and is adjustable with a proper
microswitch - ample rating as well.

I used one on one of my large kitchen cupboards where the consumer
unit is at the back. I put a small 8W maintained emergency light in
the top of the cupboard, wired to a lighting circuit upstream of the
RCD.

When the door is opened, the light comes on. It will stay on if the
power fails.

I was able to adjust the plunger so that the relatively light magnetic
catch had no trouble holding the door closed.

Yes - at the best of times they're a real fiddle to fit. A standard
microswitch with an operating arm is usually an easier way - the arm
allows much more tolerance.

I've heard you're a netKKKop too. Is it true?

Dear All

I have recently cannibalised my fridge to provide shelf space for my
clothes, with an automatic light that comes on when I open the door. Neat,
huh?

Now another question for your expertise.

It seems that my socks need to be stored at a different temperature to the
lettuce. Any ideas on the best ways to adjust temperatures to suit both
clothes and vegetables?

.... Thanks to all for the various suggestions and urls, one or other should
sort me out.

Malcolm.

Just store them with the cheese.
