[SML] [spam] Re: OT: Non-Standard Wiring Revisited

[Dan Sheehan]

The wall outside our dressing rooms has
switches with pilot lights to shut off the power outlets inside,
so when closing up at night, the rule is those red lights must be off...
so no worry about whatever may have been plugged in.

Separate circuit from room lighting.
One hair curler too many won't blackout the room.
