LED strip lights in hall closet

I replaced the closet light with LED strip lighting and motion sensor. I was tired of not having good lifting when I was picking out clothes and having the manually turn on the light proved to be too much work (for some reason I just never turned on my closet light). I also installed a toggle on/off switch so I can override the motion sensor if for some reason I want to. Parts list and pictures below.

I just did the same to the two closets in our 25’ FB. The switch is a pressure door switch so light comes on when door opens.

Pictures showing the light quality from the LED tape lights. In second picture, the small black rectangle in the upper left of the door jamb is the pressure switch.

It’s a good idea and a good implementation of it. I like how the closet looks when the work is done.

There are several similar closets in my house, too, and I would like to have some lights there too, maybe something that would resemble the car lights I have in my Jeep. I like them because they produce dim and soft light that doesn’t hurt the eyes and doesn’t ruin the vision, so that I can drive with these lights on. They can also be synchronized with the music you are listening to or be controlled from your phone using Wi-Fi. I want something similar in my closets because I like the colors of the lights in my car.
