Why pull cords in bathrooms and not light switch?

Pull cords in bathrooms are often used instead of light switches for safety reasons. They help reduce the risk of electric shock in a damp environment, where water and electricity can be a dangerous combination. Additionally, pull cords are typically positioned at a height that is easily accessible for users, including those with mobility challenges. This design ensures that the light can be turned on and off without having to reach for a switch potentially near water sources.
