| Aug 19, 2020 at 18:45 | comment | added | Marc Cecere | I don’t think this answers it. The switch is completely disconnected with the wires separated and taped off. | |

| Aug 19, 2020 at 18:21 | comment | added | isherwood | Does this answer your question? Why do my LED lights stay on, even when the switch is off? | |
| Aug 19, 2020 at 18:20 | comment | added | Marc Cecere | Finished ceiling. Tried to remove the ceiling light, but couldn’t do so easily. I’m sure with a bit of work I could remove it. Would that help somehow? | |

| Aug 19, 2020 at 18:04 | comment | added | Marc Cecere | Well played. But I was serious. The switch I removed would dim the light when in the off position. That tells me it had some connection to the ceiling light. So, the light must have another source of electricity. I’ve tried every nearby switch, but no effect. I guess I’ll try every switch in the house. Any suggestions from anyone. | |
| Aug 19, 2020 at 17:59 | comment | added | FreeMan | Welcome to Home Improvement. It's obvious that you've just annoyed a very nice little old lady in Germany by removing the switch and disabling the light in her laundry room. It's also obvious that this switch does not control your laundry room light, either. Do you have an actual question for us or were you just sharing? Please edit your post to include a question as well as some trouble shooting that you've tried to figure out what's going on (assuming you're trying to solve a problem). | |
