Bathroom Pull Switch problems

[blincoe73]

I have had a look at the light switches and cannot see any branding.
Would this be on the inside?
To be honest they do look quite cheap and chatty
Where the switch is the wall also feels really warm, but not sure if this is a radiator pipe behind

Two things to try.
Both with the power off!

1. Take the two wires out of COM & L1 (i cant tell the colours from your pic) and have a look at the ends to make sure the screw was clamped onto the copper wire and not the sleeving.
if that checks out OK -
2. Get a terminal block (choc block) and join the two wires together.

If the light is now on without flickering then its the switch.

If it still flickers then you've a wiring fault somewhere else.

Both wires are brown and there 1 earth (green/yellow)

I changed the pull switch for new and now it works like a dream
