I am wiring a long storage area that will have three light fixtures. I would like to use a pull chain, as the placementof a light switch is difficult due to the position of the closet door.
Is there a pull chain fixture that can control the other lights on the circuit?
The pull chain fixtures I have only have two terminals (hot and return) and the actual switching mechanism is buried so i can't wire the actual switch in parallel.
Now I could probably wire the light in series so that the pull chain breaks the circuit and the other lights go on and off. but this means the whole circuit is in series and that's just a bad idea.
