Search amazon.com for microswitch and you will see lots of choices. You'll have to work out an enclosure for the wiring. A motion sensor might also work mounted in a handy box inside the cabinet. Search amazon for "motion switch for lights" .

Any of the magnetic switchs will work with this item they just need to be a normally closed switch.

A standard switch plate should work. You can buy these at any hardware store, or I'm sure Amazon also has these.

You have to play with the magnets at both ends by adjusting them so the on and off internal switch will cycle on and off. I had to adjust them at different locations on the brackets before they finally worked properly.

you would probably have to get a plug that lets you do so...try going to a hardware store or a electrician, try calling one. I don't know if they have the plug in switch. soryy..but this is a cool gadget.

i recommend that you take the unit apart and remove the existing switch. once you have it out, try a place like grainger, bring the switch with you and see if you can match it up. you might get lucky at an electronics house as well.

Wire it to a toggle switch, or put a inline fuse on it and remove the fuse when not in use

What a stupid question! Obviously the magnet that I purchased does not have a power switch. I consider that question insult my intelligence. No I am not happy with it no I'm not going to send it back because it's more hassle than it's worth

I mounted mine under my kitchen sink and it always turns on when I open the cabinet. Makes it much easier to find what I'm looking for!

Hi Ellen,You could probably find the magnet and clip at a local hardware store, it's very similar to the magnets on cabinets. Hope this helps. Eddie

You need a 'hot' line inside your cabinet, preferably a "J" box than drill thru the bottom of the cabinet and wire to the hot leads in the J box. If, like me, you don't have a J box to connect to you can buy a male plug end and make the alteration so you can plug into a convenience outlet. I have an outlet in the splash I can plug in to.

No, this is not a magnetic switch, a magnetic switch is active, that is, to enable or disable need a electrical impulse. If you need the switch turns off when the power is disconnected, look for a active magnetic switch. This switch is mechanical.

I believe pushing it on the upper side will switch on. Mine is a red rocker switch enclosed by a semi clear cover. That is the Deutch so try whatever position of isn't in now and should start up.

Any magnet should work, try Amazon, Wal-Mart or a hobby store. It may need to be strong..so a hobby store would be my first choice or Amazon or Ebay..?? Take the unit with you so you can verify that magnet you are looking at will operate the unit. Some kitchen magnets (or a refrigerator magnet glued to the end of a pencil) may work. Looks like T.L already answered your question :)

I tried to do a similar thing where they would turn on when my doors opened. U have to press the power button every time. I am sure there is a product you can buy that will allow them to do that however only having the kit u will have to press the power button every time. Hope this helps you.
