I want to install leds in my closet
I want to do it in a cheap way, with a sensor to turn them on when i open the closet or a switch if its cheaper.

Any suggestions on how to start searching about?

Just get some chink led strings, and a fucking Reed switch or microswitch that is normally open when depressed.

google is your friend. If you cant figure out how to do it from there, well i feel sorry for you.

i just dont know how to start searching, there is a lot of info about leds but i need something really simple and specific in a topic i dont know nothing about, so im just asking for a little guidance

Get a light detector inside the closet so that when there's light hitting after you open the closet door it it turns the light on.

Now try the same with led strip (hint, you'll need a power supply as well).

I'm pretty sure a switch in this case is going to be cheaper.

LED strips (You can use any, they're pretty much all the same)

+ Power supply (You can probably find a spare or one from something else for cheaper)

+switch (the guy above me recomended an amazon link, and this one was the first to pop up, and there is someone who used it for the same exact thing you want to use it for, with a picture in the review section for how he wired it up)

While you're at it get some solar cells and hook them to some leds. Solar powered flashlight!

They sell all in one lights, battery powered you just place them in your closet and they light up when they sense motion.

I do them with 12v led strips, 12v PIR sensor and a wall wart with enough amps.

This. Just buy a reed switch that opens when a magnetic field is applied and stick a magnet on the door. Its really simple
