A light switch combined with a light socket is sometimes installed in basement or utility areas of homes. The switch is operated by a pull chain or cord. It is also possible to have the cord-operated switch separate from the light socket, which is particularly common in British bathrooms. Until 2001, [[Electrical wiring in the United Kingdom|UK wiring regulations]] required that all bathroom switches were operated by pull cords.
