When I do something contrary to the directions I am always a bit nervous...
I wired up a double pole switch today. The directions say the load goes to the light terminals, and the line goes to the dark. Since my line comes in from the top and the load goes out the bottom, it was much more convenient to wire the switch backwards. I can't see how it could possibly matter; am I overlooking something? (No, the next guy won't be confused; the load is an outlet 5" away.)
