I'm building some floor to ceiling cabinets that will have glass doors with sheer curtains behind the glass. The cabinets will be lit on the inside with low voltage lighting and I would like to be able to switch the lights on and off using a switch that is incorporated into the door. The really tough requirement is that I occasionally would also like to be able to manually turn the lights on even when the doors are closed so that the cabinets will be back-lit from behind.
So I haven't been able to find any door switches that have a manual on/off capability. Does anyone know where I can find one?
As an alternative I was considering a magnetic door switch, thinking that I might be able to place something between the two magnetic contacts to break the connection when the doors are all closed. Does anyone have any experience with this option or have any other advice?
Thanks,
Scott
