It might be OK for light switches. I don't move them around that much.
And a visitor once complained that she couldn't find the light switch
in my toilet. This wallpaper could help

Lol

What they've done does seem rather unimaginative. A range of standard
designs with the design elements tweaked to fit neatly round things
would surely see a much wider customer base.

I have cleverly designed my lighting so that the light from the next
room
illuminates the switches in each room. In the same manner a blown
light bulb can be replaced by the light in the same or another room.
In the case of all bulbs failing at the same time, I have a torch.
That torch may be recharged by a shaking motion.

That's an interesting concept. Care to share more details?

When a bulb blows here it invariably takes out the MCB for all the lights so
the torch is the standard option. The main problem is finding the torch in
the pitch dark.
