Low force pull cord switch

[MortarThePoint]

The majority of pull cord switches need a pretty hefty pull to switch. I've forgotten to make decent provision for this and want to use a low force one mounted on the plasterboard ceiling. Can anyone recommend a low force one?

I tried a few cheaper options until I found one that was reasonable light and quiet. I'll update later when back at home with make and model

Can you put a regular switch on the wall outside?

 

If the wiring is already done perhaps these wireless switches..

Powered by the force of your finger I believe.

Unsurprisingly it's actually Hager like the rest of our stuff

You can put a wireless (and battery-less) Quinetic light switch in the room.

Thanks for the heads up. We got one and it really is a great improvement.
