12v led wiring

[rrev]

I'm trying to figure out how to wire a led strip inside my pass through compartment that has a push button to turn on the light when you open either door.Do I need to run wires from one side to the other between the switches like a 3 way in your house? Do I need a special switch? Anyone ever do this?

Chris is saying to power it from both ends with simple on/off switchs. Put 12V to the red leads.

You don't really need to be complex- having two hots will be fine if you think about it. You don't need to turn it off from either side- just on.

Wire it the same way as a stair in a house, with double pole double trow switches and yes you will need to run wires across the bay.
