    Hi.
    Im trying to find a light to fit in a cupboard.
    I used to remember a type that would come on as you opened the door (they were small and brown and had a small bit protruding which would move as the door was opened and make the light come on).
    Im having no luck finding any such thing and apart from searching 'cupboard light' Im stumped

    Any help please?

    Thanks

  6. If you have any safety concerns at all, then you might want to consider an (extra) low voltage system - ie a mains transformer mounted somewhere outside the cabinet (like on the top behind the cornice) and then supply all the internal electrics in 2-core cable that's fine for 12 (or 24) volts.
