Auto on-off led ribbon lights for steps

Added a photoelectric switch to the led ribbon lights in the step cutout on our 5er.  Sure beats the worthless step light Flagstaff puts on.

Nice idea, I'll have to give some thought to "borrowing" it.

One of these days I'll snag a pair of 12 volt LED strips,  I will tie them to the "Worthless step light" causing them to turn on when the door is opened.

That's my plan.. I've already done the wiring.
