Why put all switches in one place? I have never seen this in Europe. Switches are usually close to their corresponding light source.

- sirsar 13y agoIf you have multiple smaller lights, it's quicker to turn them all on at the door than to do a lap around the room. Of course this is an after-the-fact rationalization; in reality, it's probably just easier to install one set of switches than several.
- alexchamberlain 13y agoAgain, why one switch one light? In my lounge, the 1 lightswitch turns on 4 lights, and in my hallway, there is 2 lightswitches for 1 light.
- __david__ 13y agoWell, you do that if you ever want the ability to turn on just one of them. If you don't then your setup is fine.

- jaynos 13y agoIt's easier and cheaper for the electrician to run one power line and then distribute power via switches. Doesn't make it right, but most people put up with it.
