I would like to convert the 2 pull light switches to 1 wall switch. However, to make things complicated, the 2 and pull light goes on to feed power at other rooms within the house. Can this be done

Sorry to clarify the complication, the 2nd light that has the pull switch -goes on to feed power to other rooms. How can I re-wire this to have the 2 pull switches now operate using the wall switch and still have onward power leaving the 2nd light

Assuming that the switch has not yet been installed.

You will need to run a 2 wire cable between the first light and the switch location and a 3 wire cable between the first light and the second light.

Need a wiring diagram?

It worked! I couldn't have done this without the assistance of a higher power. Thank you again for your help
