Rather like the ones on the wall I gather. Up is on, down is off.

Gone are the simple days. Since we dropped the trade barriers, all kinds of nefarious practices have become common. I speak of the dual switch fiasco. You have one switch at one entry, and another on the other side of the room. So if you turn one up/on, the one on the other side is now down/on. This leads to new combinations.

Of course, some of the switches don’t get it. “Oh, I see. I was up/on yesterday, and then the person switched my counterpart up/off, so now the light is off, but, dear me – they’re switching me and nothing seems to be happening…”

It’s a conspiracy. They know we’re lazy and they just want to get us to cross that room – again and again.

This is what happens when you let standards lapse. Chaos. Inconvenience.
That sounds like a screwy system!
I’ve seen ones where two switches in the same position = on, and in different positions = off. In that instance, you just throw the switch whichever way is available if you want to change the luminescent state of the light. Of course, if you want, you could get confused by that. But it takes effort.
