I would like to convert a bathroom pull-cord switch to a standard wall-flush lightswitch just outside the bathroom door.
Is it possible to attach the wires that hang from the bathroom ceiling (where the pullcord mechanism has been disconnected) to some kind of junction box, and run a length of wire from that to the new switch?
Is there anything else I need to be aware of?
I am planning to use external trunking the extension.
I am replacing the pullswitch as the original one made a very loud acoustic CLIK-KUNNG sound, and the 'silent' dimmer version plays havoc with recording through a valve guitar amp, creating a very loud buzzing when the light is on. Dimmer switches are a known evil for recording setups. I tried bypassing the copper coil mounted on its circuit board, but this killed the mechanism (possibly due to static electricity as it has a chip etc)
