Comment on Why do so many UK electrical sockets have an on/off switch next to them?

  Huh, it’s interesting- Here the power switches are a similar size to the UK, so when I searched up a picture of the Indian switches I thought they were ridiculously giant, not like regular sized UK/Australian ones

  I guess it’s just whatever you’re used to is the ‘regular’.

  Are light switches the same? What happens when you have a lot of switches together, like six or eight? Do you just have really wide banks of switches?

    Yeah there are cases where you have to take a sharpie or a label to know which ones are which when there are too many switches all setup together
