Re: Why have the switch ?
I don't understand the need to have a switch on the socket (outlet). I am 81 years old and never have I seen an outlet with a switch on it. Also, anything plugged into the socket will have a switch. Before I retired I traveled to many states as part of my job. I was never in a hotel/motel room that did not have an overhead light. Granted, the overhead light was near the entrance to the room and the other lamps in the room had a switch on the lamp itself. I currently live in a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house with 2 hallways. Every room in the house, including closets and hallways, have overhead lights.
