- Swiss-Toni - 02-21-2015 I thought i would share this idea for the use of a  redundant tamper switch inside the comfort panel. As I don\'t use the tamper switch in my panel as I am constantly in and out of it and I was tired of using a torch to see inside all the time I decided to rig up a led strip light inside the panel. Initially I tried to use the switch but it breaks the circuit when panel is open and unless you wire it into a zone and then use output it cant really be used. Where the switch was i replaced it with a 19mm push on/off switch which a I bought from ebay along with some self adhesive led strip lights the total came to around £10. so not exactly expensive. Things you should look out for though: Depth of switch (so as not to hit other components) 12V supply (I did not use the comfort supply for lights) - slychiu - 02-22-2015 Thanks for the tip, but I dont knoww what is the difference between the original switch and the new one. Both break the circuti when the lid is open? - Swiss-Toni - 02-22-2015 The new switch does not break the circuit as it is push button that turns off/on the led strip light in the cabinet, making it easier to see everything clearly. Where my cabinets are located their is insufficient light and as I do not use the tamper circuit on the cabinets, it was an alternative function. It just made life a bit easier for me when creating alterations and seeing components in the cabinet.
