Directed Electronics 8600 Micro Magnetic Switch

Among other things, it does exactly what it says and is easy to use. The lead is long (unfortunately of thin gauge), which allows for plenty of flexibility in In contrast, I had to add a couple of round magnets to supplement the internal magnet. The magnets were super glued into place, followed by electric tape sprayed on to hide and protect the magnets (see photo on the left side of the tailgate). In addition to the sticky tape, I added a double sided, very high bonding (VHB) tape, to ensure it wouldn't be removed. A couple bucks for this is not a bad idea, though it might not be necessary. The switch is used in conjunction with bed lights The light can be wired so the switch is always on when the tailgate is open, but will never turn on otherwise. In this case, the circuit is broken and the lights go out without draining the batteries. Is a breeze to use. There are a lot of YouTube tutorials that you can use to tailor your lessons.

I haven't yet attached it to the wall or glued it in. Although it's too early to predict how this is going to turn out, I am optimistic. However, I would like to share what I'm trying to achieve This led light was wired to a small bulk head type fixture in the livewell of my G3 fishing boat. I am thinking of turning on the light each time I open the deck lid of the livewell. This setup will save me the hassle of charging batteries or hunting switches in the dark, or explaining "where is that switch again". I'll share a picture, and maybe someone else will want to try, there is almost nothing online to help or explain how to do 10" inches wide by 30" inches long by 15" inches deep is the size of my livewell. As you can see, the little bulk head led light does an adequate job, maybe it will suffice. There was more than enough light for me to clearly see the fish or As soon as the well is filled with water, I hope it will glow even more brilliantly.

Turning my tool on this allows me to - so far so good
to do a placement test I added tape to the switch parts using painters blue and clear tape. The addition of an aux power source can be used to test the placement and operation of switches Wiring & wiring *Make sure to clean surfaces with alcohol when cleaning lights*Hi I just bought a second one for the truck bed under the rail lights to come on when I open the.

Worked like a charm. In the past decade, I've used 10+ old-fashioned It is A mechanical switch that has been the same design for decades (actually a lightbulb holder that I screwed an adapter into to fit a 2 volt) I built it as an alternative to the electronic switch ) is no longer available. I was looking for a switch for a series of 8 x 6' ribbons of 12v LEDs in a large bedroom closet and thought this would work, but I was a little concerned about the 3w limitation since the LEDs consume 7 to 8 watts each. The 12th day. I was able to install this switch within 5 minutes and it has worked well since then. The two pieces do not need to touch each other (and turn off the lights) to break the circuit, contrary to the findings of another reviewer here. When they are within two feet of each other, they react A triangle formed by three", one on top of the These are perfect for closets or cabinets,.

Our pantry is equipped with two of these switches that I purchased for our led lights. We unfortunately weren't able to use one of them. After I contacted Amazon, I am receiving a new one in the mail. So far, the one that is working well is mounted on the pantry door, so when you open the door it automatically detects the movement. It comes on with the led lights.

Testing with a multimeter indicates that it has a wide operating range and excellent continuity. In this case, however, the wires arrived with torn insulation as they entered the switch housing, and it doesn't look like I can heat shrink this junction. Stress is what I think it should be called I am relieved that I was able to prevent issues. The pictures should illustrate what I am It is the last piece I have to install for a pantry lighting project, but I'm afraid I'll encounter problems when I install I would like to follow up on my previous statement These are my tentative conclusions upon delivery, but an up-to-date review will be conducted.

I don't like this photo because I can't see how much I It was February. On the 3rd of There is a discrepancy between the photo and the item received. A cable is clearly visible coming out of the sensor in the photo. In the product received, there are three bolts that connect the cables instead of two. The instructions are not given. It is not possible to draw a As soon as the installation is complete, I will update the review.

Those of you who are considering obtaining this product must think again if they want to use it for their project. To hook up the LED lighting for the truck bed, I bought this one recommended by Chris Fit. For a few moments, it would be great, and then it would.
