In Jamaica..
DOWN = OFF
UP = ON
but we also have switches that turn side-ways
RIGHT = OFF
LEFT = ON

Only in America the switch is OFF when its DOWN. Other countries have the opposite. Chances are they will change to natural way i.e. Up=On, Down=Off

In England, switches pointing down = ON; In Europe and US it is the opposite.

Traditionally in the USA if a switch is up it is on. Sometimes they get wired wrong and it's the other way.
