Bathroom pull cord change to switch

[DaveHerns]

Is it a "women thing" to object to a pull cord in a bathroom ? Does it really matter what it looks like if it turns the light on and off safely?

Obnd - I don't suppose you have an electric shower, do you?

I do as it happens. If the next question is 'do you have a pull switch isolator' answer is no, isolator is a square plate switch in the ceiling, only gets used for maintenance. Would have had it on the wall except (a) zones on the return wall (b) derating for insulated wall.

 

[EFLImpudence]

No, there wasn't going to be a next question but as you seem to have missed the point - "Do you touch the electric shower with wet hands while standing in water?"

 

[oldbutnotdead]

The outer casing and the controls, yes but that's a device that is designed to be used and operated in a wet environment (not immersed obviously, well not mine) rather than a standard light switch. I think that's the point you're making?

Apparently not.

It does, to varying degrees, matter to almost everybody.

That'll be a no then. They really are great though!

Pity they don't know about US electrics. They have been 120V plus or minus 5% for years. 110V well out of tolerance. And what is 60Mz?

That'll be a no then. They really are great though!

NO: I've not looked, but

YES: I find it hard to believe that there are no cheaper proximity switches on the market.
