Getting a tri cabin ready for sale.
Inexplicably unable to find the simplest, almost universal part...the uncomplicated plunger activated light switch that:
...turns the light bulb on when you open the closet door
...turns the light bulb off when you close the closet door.
I can't believe the stores and online shops that shrug their shoulders and reply that they don't carry the item.
Scheeeesh.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Many thanks for any thoughts.

Might search Amazon for Mr. Beams MB530. It's a self contained battery powered light with a motion sensor.
We have a Civil War era house with a number of dark spaces, and these lights have worked well. (Ghosts apparently don't actuate the sensors.) In reading your post, it struck me that I could use them on my F26 in a few spaces -- just hadn't occurred to me. No wiring needed.

Motors should run. People -- not so much.
