There aren't any in my experience. Bloody loud aren't they when mounted on
plasterboard?
They have to have a strong spring action to open the contacts quickly so I
suppose there is not way to avoid it...

You could try a Dimpull

Also says it is suitable for use with bathroom fans.

Haven't used it myself.

Or google for the thread "touch sensitive light switches for bathroom", late
October this year.

Oh. Thats easy. Just make the cord about a mile long, put the switch in
the next parish, and route the lot back with some T & E....

:-)

How about cord wrapped round a dimmer switch, with a spring return :-)

They *used* to be much quieter - ISTM that the noisy ones were
introduced a couple of decades ago. I don't like them either. You could
buy an older house, but make sure that in the contract it says that they
have to leave the light switches.

I bought one from B&Q several years ago, it's not completely silent but
close to it. I don't know if they still do it though.

Hasn't anyone produced a pneumatic one? Seems obvious technology for the
job.

I had thought of getting one of the radio controlled switches for the job
- but seems a bit of an expensive solution.

Yes, they are for turning lights off after a delay period.

The link is broken. Anyway what you want is a Pneumatic delay switch from
any electrical wholesalers, but they are quite expensive, I think around
£15.

Now I've written that, I am not so sure that is what your after. Anyway go
look at one and you will see what it does.

Dave - I am now with you! My blinkers prevented me from reading what you
had written. I was taking your comment to be about the remote switching
things - not pneumatic ones. Yes - the old switches that give you not quite
long enough to get upstairs in shared property.

My mind is definitely on something like the pneumatic cistern flush buttons
- but controlling the light. Unfortunately, no else's seems to be,
especially manufacturers.
