SIDE PULL CORD SWITCH 2 AMP | CORD 195MM

Bought this to replace a '610' pull cord switch that controlled the fluorescent bulbs in a bathroom mirror; that switch was starting to arc occasionally. The old '610' is made in Germany and no longer ships to the UK. This switch is a very good substitute. The picture is somewhat misleading: it suggests that there is one mounting hole, so that the whole switch might in time rotate a bit. But in fact there is a metal mounting plate, not shown, with tabs that prevent rotation and with two screw holes for fastening the whole thing in place -- the visible hole is for the screw that fastens the switch to that plate. The two screw holes on that plate are very slightly farther apart than on a '610' and the plate is about the same dimensions as the switch body, but set at right angles to the body. After drilling one new screw hole it was easy to fit and works very smoothly.

Just what I needed to repair my parents bathroom mirror light. Nearly bought a replacement light when this popped up in my checkout feed, so got this switch instead as it was a perfect match for the broken original. Arrived next day and had it fitted in no time. Just make sure you note how the original wiring was done and remember to ISOLATE the light from the mains before fitting, or get someone who is competent with electrics to fit it for you. It's a good'un.

Works well but flimsy with very short cord,, will do the job for the time being.

Switch worked well easy to fit jobs good
