Hi there,
In the process of fitting new lights in my house and have just got the wall lights left to do, however these are proving a little tricky.
I currently have two different kinds of wall lights fitted (one is candle bulb type and the other is a GU10 halogen type).
Anyway, both of these seem to have a mini pull cord switch fitted, but it looks like whoever installed them previously may have retrofitted these switches in the lamps by drilling a hole at the bottom of each so that it flush fits.
The new wall lights do not have an inbuilt switch. As these match the design of the other lights I've already fitted and as the wiring is setup to have the switch behind the light itself, I was going to just buy ones like these...

...drill a hole at the bottom of the new lamps, fit / screw these on as they are designed to and wire it up as the existing ones currently are.
My question is would it be safe to do this? The new lights I have are just a single G9 bulb so much lower power draw then the others.
Appreciate if someone can clarify/help me on this.
