Shut off the breaker that supplies the voltage to the fluorescent fixture. Wire the new pull chain switch in series with the black incoming wire and the black wire of the ballast. Turn the breaker back on and your switch will now control the off on operation of the light fixture.
Yes, just drill a 3/8's of an inch hole in the end plate of the fixture and insert the switch through the hole and secure with the locking ring that comes with the switch. Connect the "hot" black wire to one side of the switch and the black wire from the ballast to the other side of the switch.
Chain switch is an old term for identifying the chain or string that hung from light bulbs that illuminated rooms in homes of the past. Light bulb sockets equipped with a "chain switch" or pull line of metal beads and a string can still be purchased at local hardware stores.
