Replacing Wall Lights from switch to pull cords

[mummymoo]

Evening all. I have two wall lights in the bedroom which both come on at the same time when I use light the switch at the side of the bed (separate from the ceiling light). I have some lovely new wall light but they come with pull cords - can I just swap them out or will I need to change the wiring because the new ones have pull cords.

Many thanks in advance for your help

Why not just leave the pull cords in the ON positions, and use the original switch as before?

Hi, you can do a straight swop and use the existing switch as a master and switch the lights separately using the cords. Or remove the existing switch and put a blank plate in it's place.
