Bedroom Lighting - Pullcord or bedside switch

[Knobhead]

Can’t beat 5A sockets dotted around the room for standard / table lamps. The wife can’t plug the Hoover in and blow the dimmer out of the wall. (Given half a chance she would).

Can you still get 2A sockets?

You can Tony,
MK make 2a, 5a and 15a sockets.
I think 2a are still quite common.

most of my clientele are not so bone idle lazy. they get out of bed to turn the light off. an ugly pull switch above the bed is, IMO, an eyesore i'd never fit.

Thats nothing ! im so lazy i was even debating fitting a PIR so all i have to do is put my hand up ! sod pulling a switch !

I had to fit a pull cord switched 2 way with the main switch for an elderly couple the other week, cord hanging by the headboard in the middle of the bed.
Its what the customer wanted!
