I put up one I bought from ACE. Only problem is that the switch stays
lit even when turned on. Others I have only lit when shut off entirely.
What would cause that problem ?

Why is it a problem? It may have been designed that way. Contact the
manufacturer.

It was designed that way? What does the packaging state?
Might not be any "problem".

Package says it comes on only when switch shut off, which is how several
others I have hooked up work. It is not a problem, just wondering if
that is a sign of any electrical hazard. Buty , there is no way to screw
up the wiring; I set it up the same way as an old one that was driving
me crazy from flickering.

Is it actually a lit switch, or does it just "glow in the dark" after
being excited by light? If it's a lit switch with only two terminals,
then I would say it is a problem, since that means there's a large
voltage drop across your "on" (i.e. closed, or shorted) switch, and
that ain't right.

If an electrical device doesn't do what it is supposed to do, I don't
like it. Take it out, bring it back to the hardware store and they'll
give you a new one. A little time lost, but you'll have peace of mind.

Well that eliminates my ideas.
