LD1400
Reed Switch & Magnet
Fully Concealed

Invisible Door Switch System For Joinery Lighting

The LD1400 kit consists of a reed switch and a magnet and form part of an invisible door activated lighting system for cabinetry. One kit is required per door.

When installed, the reed switch can be used to switch 12/24 VDC or 240 VAC. Controllers can be simple on/off or have fade-in/fade-out, plus there are options to automatically turn off the lights should a door be left open or dim the light if it is too bright.

Up to four reed switches can be plugged into a single controller with a 6 port expansion dongle available to have up to nine doors controlling a single light.

Installation is typically completed in two stages:
1) At the factory, CNC machinery is used to route out the rabate for the reed switch and drill the hole into the edge of the door for the magnet.
2) Onsite, the electrician completes the connections to the controller, LED driver and LED strip.
