Decades ago I hotwired a diode across a switch
which cut out half the AC signal when switched off,
would this work with modern lights?


Could you not keep life simple and use a plug in LED night light? We
have a couple, and they just work.


Some of them even have a PIR, so only come on when needed.

Working out the payback time of the extra cost, against power
saved, is left as an exercise for the student.
