Q: Hi I need to switch the LEDS on when the magnet is in open position? Can you get it to work in this way?? Are there any other products that can turn a LED on when a magnet is open? Thanks ekurtharris@gmail.com

    A:

    You are able to have a circuit working while a switch is open, it just requires a few additional components. An example of the circuit required can be seen here, http://images.elektroda.net/68_1165456178.gif

    A: Unfortunately this isn?t easily doable. You could do it if you used something like a lilypad Arduino, you could write a program so the lights were on unless the switch was on.
