Magnetic Hall Sensor LED Strip Switch -- Light up your drawers!

Light up your drawers!

I wanted LED strips to come on when the kitchen drawers open and turn off when they close.

I created a circuit with a Hall Effect magnetic sensor and a MOSFET transistor to control the LED strip. I then designed this enclosure to make it compact and easy to install in the drawer frame. Solder the components together first and then assemble, hot solder melts PLA.

I plan to write an Instructable to detail my build process when I get time.

I attached the switch to the drawer frame and glued a tiny rare earth magnet to the inside of the drawer front.

You could use the peel and stick backing to hold up the LEDs but I used "LED Strip Mounting Brackets" https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/138523  for a nice clean looking mount.
