    Hi,
    I need to replace the 6A pull cord switch for my pump shower. the switch that is up there has 4 connections L IN/L Load & N IN/N Load. But the only switches I can find anywhere have three connections L1, L2 and COM.

    Does anyone know where I could get a switch like is already installed. just trying to keep it as simple for rewiring as possible.





    Thanks

    Ya, I seen those. Am I right in saying as the MCB is 10A it dosent matter if the pull switch is a higher rating?

    Presumably it's for a power shower.

    It should be noted, however, that works in a domestic bathroom are Restricted Electrical Works.
