Would recommend
Easy to fit , purchased as a like for like switch. good quality, looks good , no issues with the switching. Neutral colour. Previous one lasted 12 years. The plastic fitting that connected the switch to the pull string broke as it was brittle . Can’t complain after more than a decade of use.

Easy to install and works well. Just looks cheap (because it is)
This pull cord switch does exactly what it’s supposed to. installation was straightforward, and it functions perfectly. The design is quite basic and feels cheap, but at this price point, that’s expected. If you’re looking for something simple and functional without breaking the bank, this is a solid choice.

Very easy to install and works straight away
It only took 5 minutes to replace. I didn’t have to use the bottom base cover, as the string part went straight into the one i already have.
