Light pulls or light pull chains are small light accessories you use to turn a light fixture on and off. They’re typically connected to the light fixture via a cord or chain. Light pull chains are convenient ways to control the lighting in your home or office, especially when switches aren't within easy reach. Pull chains for lights can be on various types of light fixtures, including ceiling lights, wall lights, and lamps. Light pull cords are also used in bathrooms to operate the fan.
In addition to being functional, light pull chains can also provide decorative benefits. Some light pulls are designed to match the style of the fixture they’re attached to, while others are more playful. Flush-mount light pulls typically are used with ceiling fixtures and sometimes feature small, decorative knobs that hang from the ceiling. Wall-mounted light pulls are popular options for hallways and bathrooms, often designed with a longer cord or chain to accommodate the height of the ceiling. An LED-light pull chain is perfect for a dark space, as it makes it easy to locate the chain.
