Hey This may be weird question, I find this video really helpful, and wnat to do this to a camera case I have, its a big hard case similar to the pelican, and wnat it to light up everytime I open it, so in doing so I need to use batteries, with the same setup you have with magnetic switch maybe just 3 led's, how should I tackle the power source?

@R3dDra90n Happy to hear you found it helpful. For the power source you could use the less expensive battery we sell and a clearance 10 inch waterproof light bar and probably an LED Adapter Splice Cable to connect battery cable to magnetic switch. Shoot us an email if you need any more help with your project. We love featuring customer's projects on our site.

@e4wardTube Why should it be switched?

[valleystylez1]

So, are these lights battery operated? How bright are they for a 3' x 3' closet?

[elementalLED]

@valleystylez1 A 12V adaptor was used so the lights were not battery operated. The closet shown is bigger than 3' x 3' so the light may be more intense in a smaller one.

Do you know how to install two magnetic switchs for a left door and right door where the lights turn on/off if only the right or left door is open?

[elementalLED]

@tranglas - It seems like you could have a two-strand wire going from each switch (left and right) and bundling together where they connect to the power supply (of course keeping all the positives together and all the negatives together) and that would work, right? Let us know how that goes.
