Dunno. I've finally discovered new hobbies that are even more interesting than watching drains. :D

One other point - you persist in driving on the wrong side of the road! :?

Well, - jokes aside....... is on up or down...???
It depends, - for household power witches there seems to be some cultural differences, but I've been into professional and military elecreonics for over 40 years in total ( army service included ) and On is always up..... Eh.. -almost always... 8)

I tried to look at every detail of my Rocket build and I'm somewhat amazed I have a preconceived idea that I have never given much thought to.

Then to throw you off more is the bright switch in other wreck models. Most bright is in the down, you'd think it would be up position. Middle is no bright or off, and down position is most bright. :shock:

Oops! I just realized I mounted my bright switch upside-down. Presently down is the "sort-of-bright" setting.
