I'm looking for an inexpensive (preferably magnetic) switch to turn on a
cabinet light when the door is opened.
Initially the LED lamp will be battery powered so need a basic mechanical
switch that doesn't draw
power when the door is closed.

The security switch on eBay looks like what I want but is there a better wa=
y
to do it?
I've looked at mechanical (plunger or micro-switch) and they are all more
expensive.

thanks
