Not exactly HiFi but the pull cord switch in my bathroom is SNAFU. I am confident to wire it up OK but I’ve seen 5A, 6A and 10A.
Which is better/necessary ?

The one that best matches your bathroom decor.

Lighting rings are fused at the consumer unit with a 5amp fuse or trip. So a 5amp should be fine unless it switches a fan on in which case go higher.

What is in there?

Just a light in the bathroom.

5A but I was just wondering if over speccing stuff will improve the quality of light :thinking:

No harm in some attention seeking :smirk:

The switch has failed though.

Probably more to do with the baboon swinging off it than the rating per se. Not sure they have a weight rating.
