Hi, Firstly Hope everyone had a merry xmas.
A friend of mine has asked if I know any alternative for the bathroom light pullcord, his room is next to the bathroom and apparently keeps getting woken by people turning the light on, don't ask me he must be a light sleeper.
Anyhow my only suggestion was a movement sensor are these suitable for bathroom? or is there a pull cord that doesn't make that annoying click
Thanks for any help J

"Dimpull" a cord-operated dimmer.

Though regs creep is almost always in the direction of increasing restrictions, bathrooms is one area where they've become more permissive in certain ways. What Bob wrote used to be the simple and entire truth. These days, "ordinary" plateswitches are permitted PROVIDED they're out of reach of bath or shower - Zone III or Outside-The-Zones, which if I remember correctly means at least 600m from the nearest edge of any bath or shower; and should be of a 'suitable' type for the prevailing conditions (i.e. an ordinary plateswitch would be OK if it's not at all likely to get splashed, but if there's a showerhead which might splash about then an IPx5+ switch would be sensible).
That's from memory - google about for definition of the Bathroom Zones...

Like I said last time this was asked (doesn't anybody spend a while on Google first?)
This is actually a dimmer, which I know you didn't specify

The easiest solution would be to replace it with a dimpull This is a dimming pull switch, it has a microswitch inside that is very quiet!
The state Google groups has been in, and the mess it makes when someone posts a reply from it, I'm not so certain wishing people use Google ATM is a good idea ! :~(
-- Reply to group please.
begin .......nothing!
Wow! That's one heck of a bathroom!
D'oh! There was me, vacilating whether to call it "2 feet", "60cm", or "600mm" - and inbetween the alternatives I made it just about three furlongs ;-)
