I want this style of light switch for my island counter cabinet. Is this a 12-24 volt setup? Do I need a certain light(LED) What's the power source?

I used this switch in my island counter cabinet as well. This switch operates on 12v. You have to buy a 12v light fixture of your choice with its own power source. This switch will just activate it when door is open. I bought an under cabinet light from ikea.

can I use this switch with a reg 60 watt light bulb not led

No... this switch can't be wired inline to control a 60 watt bulb on household 110v circuits.

My 8600 is working just the oppisite, that is my hood light comes on when contact are together. any ideas? package says nc must be no -bret

You’d have to add a normally closed relay into the circuit which sends power to the lighting load when the relay stops receiving power (thus normally closed) from the switch (you open the hood and break the magnetic contacts stopping the signal which then closes the contacts on the relay lighting up the engine bay) You bring your 12v power coming into the switch over to the relay so it’s an extra wire and an extra relay all of which is an unnecessary complication- just get a different switch

Can anyone tell me the actual dimensions of each half of the switch? Are they both the same size as it appears in the picture?

Hi Bob, The magnetic switch components are both equal in size. The base where the screw holes are is 1-13/16" long. The raised magnetic block is 1-1/4" long. The overall height is 3/8" per half. 1/2" wide each half. Good Luck on your project.
