Turn right to face the alcove with the switch. Save the game and set up the next running jump carefully, since it's easy to miss: Walk to the outer left corner of the piston and aim Lara directly at the right side of the alcove.

Lara can safety drop to the floor from this ledge but only if she has full health. To get down without injury, take a running jump to the fourth piston, which is now lower than it was before.
