I didn't have any lever switches laying about, so made use of what I had, seems to be working great now, I'll probably pickup a lever switch though and ditch the relay which I'm only using as the reed I have needed to be the other way round.

Ha ha, it probably is complicated for a simple cabinet light switch, but the issue I had was trying to mount the push switch and to have it in the right position when the door closes, as it's a gun cabinet there's no way of being inside when the switch engages to know exactly where to mount it...
I've been tinkering for last couple of hours, and upped the voltage to 13.5vdc and used a double pole relay to switch the +ve and -ve off to the led strip and this has solved the issue. Must have been something to do with voltage drop through the reed maybe?
