I recently bought a new house and I am trying to fix all the things that are driving me nuts. There is a pull chain light mounted on the wall that leads to the basement. Problem is it is about head high. It sticks out way too far and i knock into it about every other trip. Ther are plenty of lights that would mount closer to the wall and not stick out so far. My problem would be solved. The only thing is none of them are pull chain. So there would be no way of turning off and on. The walls are plaster so I really don't want to get into putting in a wall switch. Can a regular light be changed over to a pull chain light? I think they sell pull chain switches in the ceiling fan department. What do you guys think?
