What do you call the material that looks like a bunch of metal balls on a string out of which those old light bulb pull strings were made?
This is called a ball chain, and is also known as a bead chain.

Each ball and link is free to rotate making the chain resistant to kinking.plastic bead "chain": This is made of plastic solid balls moulded at regular spacings along a length of string so is not really a chain. It is not as strong as the metal chain, but can come in a wide range of colours, and is cheaper.Ball chains are commonly used as lanyards or cords (for example on pens, keys), pull-cords, sink plug chains, and can also be used as a pull chain on a cog as the balls can fit neatly into the cogs. They are used in this way to operate some roller blinds.

Often lighted switches use the filament resistance to provide voltage to the internal bulb. Get rid of the lighted switch.
