I then mount a mini push button switch that you can buy in bulk on e-bay that are basically flashlight button switches.
I've made strips for my entertainment center (on a dimmer with remote) and several window curtain valances (simple on/off switch) in the trailer along with floorboard lighting and trunk lighting in several vehicles.
