Silent Bathroom Light Pull Cord
Discussion
Can anyone recommend a silent bathroom light pull cord switch? Lighting installed is LED and not compatible with dimming. My search so far has failed to yield a suitable product.
Whilst there is a certain comfort in having an early hours sit down pish, it would be preferable to have lighting available without creating a click that can wake an entire house.

Thanks for all the responses. It has rather opened my eyes to alternatives.
PIR is the obvious solution but would prefer to control ourselves. It's nice to have the option of light during the night but similarly it's nice to have the option of dark.
There isn't anywhere within a reasonable distance to install a switch outside of the bathroom. The surroundings are difficult to explain in text.
Perhaps a remote controlled switch on the ceiling, does such a product exist? I note another contributor suggests a 'mains switcher' combined with a battery touch switch. Could do without the battery touch pad for the reason above but the switch concept would be good with perhaps a small mobile remote controller.

TLC Direct do a Quinetic switch, which can mount anywhere, has no battery, and works a remote switch - not cheap, but probably does everything you want it to

Excellent, this looks like a great solution.https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Wiring_Acc...

Fuses protect against overload. The lack of an Earth connection is a result of it being double insulated - designed and manufactured in a way that a live wire is unable to electrify the enclosure. Your light/fan/whatever will still likely need one - just pass the existing Earth connection through to it (ie. it is not routed via the receiver).
Many thanks. Seems so bloody obvious when pointed out. I guess that's how one learns.Gassing Station | Homes, Gardens and DIY | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
