MortarThePoint Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 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?

dpmiller Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Can you put a regular switch on the wall outside? If the wiring is already done perhaps these wireless switches.. https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Manufacturers/Quinetic/index.html?ad_position=&source=adwords&ad_id=642283137569&placement=&kw=quinetic wireless switch&network=g&matchtype=b&ad_type=&product_id=&product_partition_id=&version=finalurl_v3&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA6vaqBhCbARIsACF9M6kiZcjq6JtX4GowmQxXTYmfY9EYOxW5HPzGHAg4qD98fqh93JnhLOsaAuP2EALw_wcB Powered by the force of your finger I believe.
