Some appliances are wired the wrong way round, yesterday I had to

Since when did two wrongs make a right? Shouldn't you have corrected the

The internal connections were soldered, I didn't have time to fix them
as I needed the handlamp to do another job, anyway I'm going to buy a
decent one, as the reason for the first one needing fixing was that
the neon pilot light in the switch had caused the fuse to blow.
