Oh, really? They're probably in newer buildings here too then. I know that under-the-cabinet lighting has become the new thing, so I wouldn't be surprised to see this type of stuff built into the new houses.

My solution is going to be quite a bit different. The one benefit those switches have is that they'd be under the cabinets in the hollow space where you wouldn't normally see them. There's nowhere I can put my switch that will be hidden. So I've just bought a plastic junction box that I'll need to screw a hole into the back side for the electric that I'll be sticking out of the wall for it. Even found me a nice white metal cover, unopened, that has the wide rectangle opening for a paddle switch. I'll paint both the box and the cover. I'm not going to paint the paddle switch.

You're only going to have about a 1" clearance for your fingers on that switch when it's done. The paddle will end up very close to the wall. So not exactly hidden, but I figure if I paint it the same lighter grey as the walls that it should blend in nicely and not look so much like a part of the cabinet as it would if I painted it the darker grey that I used on the cabinets.

This is all going to work. I just need to do it now is all.
