Default Silent pull cord switch?

Been on my list for a while - a quiet replacement for the noisy bathroom pull
cord switch. If it came to it I could look into the kinetic/wireless type
switches, although that'd be quite expensive and relatively involved. Or a
PIR. But really a quiet pull cord would do. Any suggestions?


Like I said last time this was asked, this is actually a dimmer,
which I know you didn't specify

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Greenbrook-.../dp/B005KQTELU

It has a really quiet click, and does what it says on the box.


But note manufacturer states "minimum 50 watts" and "not suitable for
.... LED loads".

Though I suppose it might be OK with dimmable LEDs it is a leading edge
dimmer. And AFAICS an "always on" dimmer given "Due to the safety
circuitry built into this dimmer full brightness of all types of lamps
used with the dimmer will only be illuminated to approximately 80% of
their optimum full brightness"
