    I would need a contractron or other detector that when the cabinet is opened would short-circuit the circuit and turn on the LEDs.
    I've been thinking about the satellite k1, but I'm not sure if this is the right type because every now and then they write something different about what it's for
    Please advise

    Satel K1 parameters:
    Maximum switchable voltage of the reed switch 20 [V].
    Maximum switchable current 0.02 [A].

    In the best case you can power 2 small signalling LEDs through it.
    Controlling something more powerful requires a relay capable of switching a large current of LED lighting.

    12v leds will be 24w

    That is, the reed switch is out for at least two reasons.
    The best would be a "fridge" switch. It works as it should (it short-circuits the contacts when the door is opened) and has sufficient current carrying capacity.

    With these LED parameters, the current drawn is 2A. So using the Satel K1 reed switch alone will be impossible. You need to use a relay to switch the LEDs with it.

    As if you wanted to make the LED power supply yourself using a reed switch then you can make the connection according to a diagram like this.

    A such sensor would work best.

    Probably not too much, the reed switch is NC, in which case it will be powered all the time when the door is closed.

    I would nevertheless go for an end switch, even one such as https://sklep.avt.pl/wlacznik-krancowy-drzwiowy-hy06.html or as written
    .

    This is also NC :) it will light up when closed.

    As a remedy for NC/NO at the wrong time -.
    you can make two magnets, one in the door classically, the other behind the reed switch. So that the fields cancel each other out when the door is closed.
    The rest depends on implementation, power of diodes, supply voltage etc.

    Unfortunately, most of the reasonably priced models are on contact, for loads up to 2A. Examples:

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the need for a detector that can short-circuit a circuit to light LEDs when a cabinet is opened. The user initially considers the Satel K1 reed switch but is advised against it due to its low current capacity (0.02 A) and voltage limit (20 V), which are insufficient for the user's 12V, 24W LED setup requiring 2A. Alternatives suggested include using a "fridge" switch or limit switches, which can handle higher currents. The use of a relay is recommended to control the LED lighting effectively. Several links to products and diagrams for implementation are provided, emphasizing the importance of selecting a suitable switch for the application.
