joe90 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 It’s come to my attention that the pull switch in the bathroom is very noisy, CLUNK, CLUNK. Did not notice it before as we use the en suite normally. Can anyone recommend a make of pull switch that is quiet please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 They do vary wildly but I can't actually think which is the quietest. A switch on the wall is my preferred option. But if it's night time use that is the complaint, well I never use the light at night. Once you know your way around, it is surprising what you can do in the dark.

Jeremy Harris Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 We had the same problem, and I have found a pull switch that is much, much quieter than any other one I've heard. It just makes a gentle, single click, not the loud double click that most make. I've changed our switches for just this reason, they were too damned loud.

Onoff Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Chuck an occupancy switch in? No noise at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not great when you have a wife who gets up, half asleep, a couple of times a night and REALLY, REALLY does NOT want to have the glare of the bathroom light coming on.... (BTW, the solution for that particular problem has been to fit a very dim, single LED light, set near floor level, that is switched by a PIR. This allows navigation without creating high levels of grumpiness for the following 24 hours...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hecateh Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) +1 to @JSHarris or - if your electrician doesn't understand your request and puts the full beam bright light on a pir get some of these - I've used them previously for a good few years and am now still using them https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Beams-Battery-Powered-Motion-Sensing-Stick-Anywhere-Nightlight/dp/B01JH0SSQ6/ref=sr_1_5?s=amazon-devices&ie=UTF8&qid=1547765870&sr=8-5&keywords=pir+night+light. Batteries last 6 to 12 months dependant on usage enough light to do what needs to be done without disturbing anyone Edited January 17, 2019 by Hecateh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the above, this is wired for and on my extensive “yet to do list”? (but I better finish SWMBO wardrobe first). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I must get around to measuring the power consumption of our PIR night light. I wondered if the PIR part consumed more than the LED? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
