    Static shock from light switches even with power off??

    The most likely explanation is that they are buildig a static charge, then they touch some thing that is earthed ( metal switch plate ) and thus receive a tingle. The solution is to change the metal switshs to plastic so no more earthing thru switch plate. Or change the carpet !
