I need a light switch

I want to add LED strips to light up a closet but there's no existing light or light switch that I can tie into. I have power, just wrestling to find a switch. There's no place to mount a wall switch so I was thinking some sort of door switch would do the trick. Now if I could just find a switch . . . Any ideas?

    I added lights inside all of my cabinets in the kitchen area. I purchased magnetic switches that are used on windows for security systems.

    I added a relay because initially I was still using regular 12 v bulbs, but you may be able to wire directly with lower amperage LED...
