[Help] Any recommendations for a quiet bathroom pull cord switch - not dimmable

As per the thread title, I'm looking to renovate 2 bathrooms and ideally would like to replace the clunky noisy pull switches with something quieter.

The switches will also control extraction fans so no dimmable switches can be used.

I have heard Crabtree might be quiet but would appreciate any firm recommendations from NSC.


Thanks,


Papak

The electrical store on Newtown Rd by the Goldstone (if you allow yourself to go there) have some that single click (others click when you pull it, and when you release it), and the click is reasonably quiet.

I have a sensor in my bathroom that switches the light on when you enter and the extractor fan. Two issues I have found, 1) lights go on during the day (although there may be a setting I could change) 2) if the door gets left open (pesky kids) it tends to stay on.
No idea if this helps! [emoji3]

My light in the bathroom comes on via sensor which is lovely apart from if I have a pee during the night where I would rather stumble around in the dark than have a light shining in my eyes

Put a normal switch outside the bathroom.

If the light didn't come on you would end up peeing on the floor. :D

Are the extraction fans silent?

If not I fear for your sanity.

If there's a follow-up article in NSC/The Guardian, this thread is definitely getting mentioned.
