my first three aircraft.
light switches England down on inside of room.
light switches Ireland down on outside of room.
light switches in Bed and breakfast in Ghent up on outside the room..set a bathrobe alight in the loo after a heavy night out.
only got it wrong once in heavy icing on a dark and dirty night when I switched the engine anti icing off instead of on...and got away with it (switched it back on one at a time with a delay just in case).
For clarity it was an option on Boeings (might be 737 only) to have it either way.
I've flown ex Lufthansa 737s one day and ex Ansett the next where switches operated in the opposite sense. Didn't take much getting used to.
