Shut off the power to the light circuit. Remove the old light switch if there is one. Remove the old lamp holder base. Make a diagram and note how the wires were attached, what colour screws to what colour wire. At the light switch wire nut the two wires that came off of the switch together. The switch plate cover will have to be replaced with a blank cover plate to cover the old switch box. Install the new pull chain lamp holder using the notes and diagram that you made. Some of the lamp holders that have a switch in them will not have terminal screws. The wire to the switch will be the "hot" wire. The other wire from the old lamp holder will be the neutral which should be a white wire. Insert the bulb and turn the power back on. Now the pull chain will control the light rather that the wall switch.

∙ 12y agoIf you've never done electrical work before, then you should do this with somebody else who has, as a safety precaution.
First you need to secure (turn off, and mark it so it will not be accidentally turned back on) the power to your circuit at the breaker. Test to make sure it is off. Next, install a light receptacle with a pull chain, and then turn the power back on. With the switch in the 'on' position, test that the chain works as desired. Next, secure power again, then using wire nuts, bypass the wall switch. Then you may remove the wall switch and replace with a blank, if desired.
