"Quite" Bathroom Pullcord Switch

[SKY]

Tries a few pull cords and found that the crabtree one was the quietest.
Will see how this goes for a few weeks.

Hi All

Is there such thing as a quite pull cord switch?? My standard MK switch wakes up the baby and really annoys the hell out of me as its just so loud.

Don't want to go down the PIR route and don't want a dimmable switch.

Any Ideas??

I know this is a really old topic - but if you cant move the baby try one of those touch dimmers Taptile - Ditch the switch one-touch mood lighting and dimming solutions for the bathroom and kitchen I found them in Topps last week....

Quite what exactly is a "Quite" Bathroom Pullcord Switch?

This is the one we use: 360° Ceiling Occupancy PIR

I really don't like occupancy sensors in bathrooms only for the reason being you lie in the bath too long it goes off and I fitted one for a women who didn't like the fact if she wanted the light on in the day for a bit more light she couldn't. I fit them quite a lot in commercial disabled toilets and they are really good for that .

Stick some brandy on the baby's dummy, that will sort everything out :smilielol5:

and if the baby doesn't have a dummy, just stick a --- on the bottle.

We used to have a cheap one which was very loud and woke the kids and us up at night when used. Bought one of these on recommendation http://ebay.us/l3Le50?cmpnId=5338273189 and it's much quieter than our previous pull cord- not silent but significantly quieter than the standard ones. Would recommend it having had it for a couple months now!

Old thread. Maybe all the old “noisy” switches have been improved by now.


De ja vu......

Why have we got 2 threads on silent pull cord switches that have both been resurrected from the dark ages?

You wait ages for one, and then 2 come along at once!!!

OPs Kids are now big enough to turn the lights of themselves.
