A battery operated self-activated illumination device for cabinet assemblies as a housing within an illuminating section that is open on four sides so as to allow light from a light source to project through each of the four open sides so as to fully illuminate the interior of the cabinet. A plunger switch is provided which interacts with the door of the cabinets so as to cause the light to be activated on opening the door. A second switch is interposed in the circuitry so as to enable turning the light on and off independent of the plunger switch. A four sided transparent lens covers the housing and the illuminating device fastened to the cabinet using an adhesive such as a double-sided adhesive tape. A battery is contained within the housing illuminating device and is readily accessible for replacement by means of a battery cover.
