[QUOTE="haydnw, post: 487580, member: 31911"] Hi all! We currently have a standard bathroom light pull switch, with a bathroom fan connected. All was fitted by an electrician. I would like to replace the noisy pull switch with a nice silent one, and have found only one option - a "Dimmable pull switch (quiet)" product ref. 2865 from a website called My Green Lighting. So I suppose I have two questions really: 1) Does anyone know of an alternative simple replacement pull switch ([I]i.e.[/I] not dimmable) which is silent? 2) If not... the one highlighted above states "[I]The maximum current capacity of the of the product is 250w and minimum 50w[/I].". The fan stats say Power(W) is between 6.9 and 29W depending on speed - so presumably I need to establish what speed it's currently set to, and then buy a bulb of whatever wattage is required to make it up to the minimum 50W? I'm just thinking that if the fan is on Low mode it's only 9.3W so a >40W energy-saving bulb (if I can even find one) is going to be far too bright. I really just wanted to check that I've understood all of this correctly! Many thanks, Haydn [/QUOTE]
