| If you look carefully in the above picture you can see the neon lamp is connected to the slightly wider set of terminals on the right-hand of the switch (this comes preconnected). If you got it wrong and connected the wires from the socket to these terminals then the neon lamp would simply be permanently on. On the other hand, it should not matter whether the active or neutral is connected to the top or bottom set of switch terminals just as long as the other side is correspondingly connected to the power supply. | If you look carefully in the above picture you can see the neon lamp is connected to the slightly wider set of terminals on the right-hand of the switch (this comes preconnected).
