Airhammy 07/25/23 6:59:44 AM #5:	It's typically up for on, and down for off. My local community hall's restrooms have switches that are the other way, yet the switches throughout the rest of the building are normal.

Southernfatman 07/25/23 7:01:34 AM #7:	Up always seems appropriate for on, but I don't know if that's just because that's what I'm used to. I'm an electrician so there's another reason why it feels right. One could always install a switch upside down if they want it the other way. k1zzl3_82 posted... A few of our lights have multiple places to turn them on. Sounds like 3way/4way switches. Can't really do anything to make them all turn off/on uniformly as far as I know. --- http://i.imgur.com/hslUvRN.jpg When I sin I sin real good. <cite>Southernfatman posted [p:975051710] in Should a l...

Yes, but she will typically use only 1 switch. For example our kitchen has 2 entrances (well one is the dining side, other kitchen) she will typically use the kitchen side switch to turn the lights off. Our front door is in between the kitchen and dining room. This also has a switch on it which she likes to keep that switch in a certain position <cite>k1zzl3_82 posted [p:975051735] in Should a l...

GeminiDeus 07/25/23 7:08:58 AM #9:	Literally doesn't matter. It's not like you're not going to try the other method if a light isn't turned on anyway, and it only takes a fraction of a second to try. Edit: The house I grew up in, there was a light switch at the bottom and the top of a stairwell for the same ceiling light, so "On" was always Up or Down depending on which way you were coming from, so the switch being in either position never bothered me. --- Without truth, there is nothing. <cite>GeminiDeus posted [p:975051768] in Should a l...
