    Silent light pull switch!
    Hi, does anyone know who makes SILENT light pull switches as mine seem to be very loud especially in the middle of the night.

    Find them at your local hardware store. Lotsa options: Toggle... sliders. Lighted and unlighted. But, if you're not familiar with handling electricity, you'll need a pro to do the install. Call around first. Look in your phone book for an electrician/handyman?

    Never "heard" of a silent type pull switch:) Due to the mechanical nature of their construction I don't think it's possible to make one. Not saying it's not out there somewhere, just never seen one. Maybe ceiling fan guy has them that can be adopted for a light??

    Thanks... I live in hope of a silent light switch! Maybe someone could invent it just for me and then I could get some extra Zzzzzz;)

    Some pullchain switches are quieter to others, you can try a few replacements until you find one you like. Lights normally use a simple 2 wire switch.

    Although the click is loud, I bet the lights Brightness doesn't help sleeping either.
    I Take it you are Not doing this. Maybe tell someone to leave the Light off when you are sleeping?
