Q:
1. What is the proximity between Magnet and Magnetic Switch?
2. Does it come with 3M tape for mounting?
A:
Hi there,
Thank you for your question its roughly around 5mm distance between the two to get a response.
These do not come with anything for mounting as they are designed to be sewn into a kit with Electro Fashion Conductive thread.
Best Regards
Cullen

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

Asked by: ellie
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.
