| Jul 28, 2015 at 12:39 | comment | added | mostafanfs | @Samuel. I don't know I just thought there may be a problem with that. Of course personally I hope not! But if ever this sort of problems happen is there something I can do about it? I mean are there some methods to minimize its effects? A material or something ... | |
| Jul 28, 2015 at 5:27 | comment | added | Samuel | @mostafanfs Are you stuffing the boxes with tissue paper? Nearly all light switches are mechanical and produce minor sparks when switching. It hasn't been a problem for the last fifty years, why would it be a problem now? | |
| Jul 28, 2015 at 5:23 | comment | added | mostafanfs | @Samuel. Thank you. Good idea. But what about the whole contacts and sparks thing that is happening inside of mechanical switches? Shouldn't that be a big problem? Considering the main voltage is 230V around here. | |

| Jul 27, 2015 at 19:01 | comment | added | mostafanfs | @tcrosley No I don't mean to ask for a product because like I said there are none. I'm looking for a solution and therefore I'm looking for thoughts here to build what I want from existing products. Anyway if my post somehow looks the way you see it I'm sorry. I couldn't come up with something better for the moment. | |
