Bathroom pull cord is broken and needs replacing.

There is more choice than I expected. Below are some pics.

What do I need? What is the significance of 6A vs 10A in a bathroom context? We have shit loads of down/spot lights a couple of which often blow, if that's any significance.

As you can see although there's space for some sort of 2nd line only one was used. I guess this means they've used a 2-way rather than 1-way, but that for my purposes it doesn't matter either way.

Cheers.

6A vs 10A. Another occasion to use Ohms Law. 6 x 240v = 1440W, 10 x 240 = 2400. So 6A will be able to handle constant current draw from 28 50W lights, it doesn't seem worth the calculation for the 10A.

TLC have some

Cheers. That's comforting.

Went for one from Wickes as my OH was looking for an excuse to walk the baby. I really struggled to get dimensions from TLC and wanted to get something at least as wide and ideally the same mounting spacing.
