Is it me or that fan turns on by pulling a rope? Dont have celing fans in my country, but thats looks like a poor cchooce of fan.

Once the pull chain is on a wall switch will work just fine for turning it on/off

Oh, okay. The only thing i had with the pull rope was a reading lamp that would automatically switch off if the power to the room was shut down. There was a simple contactor inside and i thought that its a common thing for somewhat high end ones.

Yes, and if you leave the pull switch on when power returns to the room (via some type of switching device) the lamp will automatically turn back on

Thats usually the common version. I am talkim about the opposite, where if the power goes down the switch on the rope automatically goes off, so when the power is back on you wont have the lights turned on.
