Question about the little LED inside light switch 😎

<div class="bbWrapper">hello<br /> soooo...<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😅" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/[email protected]/assets/72x72/1f605.png" title="Grinning face with sweat :sweat_smile:" data-shortname=":sweat_smile:" loading="lazy" width="72" height="72" /> i recently changed all the light switches in my house. now i saw a video that showed the 2 tiny wires inside the switch should be connected to the &quot;in&quot; and &quot;out&quot; thingies. BUT, before installation, i stick them in a power outlet (witch has a phase and a zero obviously <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😎" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/[email protected]/assets/72x72/1f60e.png" title="Smiling face with sunglasses :sunglasses:" data-shortname=":sunglasses:" loading="lazy" width="72" height="72" />) and saw that it lighted up. Therefore, for all light switches, i connected the 2 tiny wires to the wires inside power outlets next to the light switches...<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤨" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/[email protected]/assets/72x72/1f928.png" title="Face with raised eyebrow :face_with_raised_eyebrow:" data-shortname=":face_with_raised_eyebrow:" loading="lazy" width="72" height="72" /><br /> <br /> Now the question is: is that ok? will there be problems or dangers? <br /> I&#039;m ok with them LEDs being always on.</div>
