i had the same problem with my locker light, so i rigged the light mech switch to the top of the lip and just leave the light on all the time, but i have the box on the top left side on the inside so that way i can reach the on/off switch and just turn it off at the end of the day
I did find the perfect remedy added led strips , mag switches with normally closed/open optio s so you can wire them your way. If your handy with soldering even better.
Any chance you could stick your camera in there and get a shot of where they mount? I like the cast, I did like you're thinking and got some led strips and power source, just haven't gotten around to mounting them. And it is dark in my black locker in a not well lit shop.
Yes i have about 50 bucks into both lockers, etter than 450 from snap on . With 4 strips (2 on top ,2 on the top inner panel of the locker) all out of site when you open and work great. Though it took more strips to get the same lighting as the snap on unit . With a bit of time and work ill be adding more to the back of the lockers as well as my power drawer. The possibilities are endless

You can add connector if you dont wsnt to solder . I also used the 3w power supply vs the 2a you can buy with the lights because i may run alot more and utilize one power source.
