Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Pull Cord Light Switch designed for?

The Samotech pull cord light switch is a ceiling-mounted 2-way switch operated by pulling a hanging cord. It’s the standard switch type for UK bathrooms (where wall-mounted switches are restricted by Part P regulations) and for other applications where a wall switch isn’t feasible due to space or safety considerations.

What’s the electrical rating?

The switch is rated at 6A, 230V (single-pole, 2-way) — suitable for typical bathroom lighting and small lighting circuits.

What length is the pull cord?

The pull cord is 1.5m long, hanging from the ceiling-mounted switch base — long enough for comfortable reach when pulling on or off.

What finishes are available?

The switch is available in matt black or chrome — both stylish, modern finishes that complement contemporary bathroom décor.

What’s the size of the switch base?

The switch base measures 8.5cm × 8.5cm × 4cm — a compact ceiling profile (raised bevelled style) that doesn’t protrude excessively from the ceiling.

What cable size do the terminals accept?

Terminals accept 1 × 1.5mm² cable — the standard for UK lighting circuits.

What’s the warranty on the pull cord switch?

The Samotech pull cord switch is covered by a 5-year manufacturer guarantee — significantly longer than the typical 1-year warranty on hardware.

  1. The lid at the end wouldn’t stay and I had to glue it in. Apart from that, all good.
