Not very sophisticated but I just taped over a switch to keep on all the

Removing the switch is not a good idea. *What will you do if you need

You're kidding right? God, I hope so.

Do you work on light fixtures after simply turning off the light
switch?

Good grief. Stop offering dangerous advice.

I've always worked on electrical equipment as though it were hot and quite often when it is hot. The only exception is high voltage gear like 4,160 vac power where insulated gloves, a hot stick and probe are required. 8-)
