Ok thanks everyone for the tips and 98 Valk thanks for the great write up. For now(since my electrical skills are just ok) I'm going to try the motion led's because for me it is fast and simple. But when I have more time I will do what 98Valk did.
I used Leds from Advance Auto parts with the white back ground, much brighter than the ones with black back ground, ran a hot with a fuse, and used the switch in the bag for the ground,
so when bags open light comes on price for lights $34.95.
I used three on each bag.
I don't know if it is posted or not. I thought so, but can't find it.
This netting is something that I got off of ebay several years ago. I don't know if it is still available or not.
It is elastic enough that it gives if i just throw something on it (like a bag). But, also keeps things from falling into the hinges.
The hard part was getting clips to stay put. I finally got rid of the sticky part and epoxied the clips into place. Much better.
Here are a bunch of listings from the guy I bought my netting from. He doesn't seem to have any more of what I got, but has lots to choose from (I am sure others do as well).
