I jury rigged a light on my old DP - easy access to the wiring.
My new DP was a different story. I think most of your (US) DP's have a light?
I looked at the wiring associated with the on/off switch and thought - no chance. Then I had an old friend visit me (I see him about twice a year - he's an expat. Aussie living in the US). And he said "what's in there?". I undid the single screw on the cover and lo and behold - it's just a junction box! (At this point I'm slapping my head). Like- why didn't I think of at least looking
So here's the result:
It's a small spotlight I've had hanging around for years - I just knew I use it eventually
It's mounted on a square of 1/2" MDF (what else?)
I didn't want to drill/tap the DP head, so I inserted an "Amazing" magnet (1/2" dia x 3/8" deep), in each corner - holes drilled to within 1/16" of "all the way thru". I added the strike plates because it looked better!
Because the square wanted to slide a little on the DP high-gloss paint, I glued a piece of 180 grit sandpaper on the back of the square - it REALLY grabs
(And of course - on/off with the DP switch).
I only had to drill a 1/2" hole in the junction box and add a rubber grommet.
Yeah - I know - the color doesn't quite match - and -what really annoys me, I couldn't buy/steal any black 3 core flex
