]I'm looking to install some DIY lighting in the cabinets of my camper. After doing some searching, I realized I don't have enough know-how, yet, to do it myself. I know there are some options but what I'm thinking is a 3 component system: battery holder, door switch, and LED light. What I'm finding is that most of the door switches are meant for 120v AC use in home closets and the like. I'm looking to just run the lights off of a couple of AAA batteries in a holder so I don't need to hack into my TT wires at all. Will a switch rated for home use work with the 1.5V that a pair of AAA put out. I really just need some help making sure I get components that work together.
A big motivation for this particular setup is to use the same door switch to light multiple shelves inside the same cupboard. That is to say, I can wire two different LED strips from the same switch so the upper and lower shelves both have light. I have already considered them and options such as touch lights and motion-activated lights are not what I'm looking for.
I'm looking at some switches like these but there are also some magnetic ones that look OK.

How do you know you're learning anything if you don't screw up once in awhile?
