Stanley 31324 10-Foot Extension Cord with On/Off Switch, Beige Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The item does not cut off the power 100% - I plugged in a string of LED lights and when I turned them off with this switch, they continued to have a faint glow. I thought maybe the glow was normal, perhaps the heat or electricity just needed to discharge from the lights or the switch (obviously I'm no electrician). But come morning, the lights still glowed.
I unplugged the switch from the wall socket, and the dim lights went out completely. I plugged them back in with the switch in off mode, and the lights glowed, the same as before.
So, long story short, the switch does not cut off the electricity completely when in the off setting. Not only is it wasting some electricity, but I fear it may also damage some electronics. A low or incorrect supply of electricity can be very harmful to some electronics. That's why a "brownout" is worse than a "blackout".
Also note that I tried the Woods 359W brand electric cord and switch and had the exact same result! The Woods 359W cord and switch looks and feels exactly like this switch; I would bet good money they are made by the same company, and that would explain why they have the same flaw.
Update: I have found a light switch that does not have this problem and seems to work well. It is the "Foot Switch 12 ft Indoor Extension- Set of 3 by Hampton" Foot Switch 12 ft Indoor Extension- Set of 3
