When someone is shocked by a light switch, it means that they have received an electric shock from the switch. This can happen if there is a fault in the wiring or if the person touches the switch with wet hands. Electric shocks can range from mild to severe, and can cause injury or even death in extreme cases. It is important to be cautious around electrical devices to avoid getting shocked.
It is unlikely that you would get shocked from a broken light switch, since they are always made from non-conducting plastic. If you open it up and try to fix it, you might get shocked then. If you turn off the correct circuit breaker or fuse, you can avoid getting shocked when you work on your broken light switch - but if you don't know what you are doing, get a qualified electrician to do it for you. Electrocution is no joke.
Yes, a light switch can shock you if there is an electrical issue or if you touch it with wet hands.
safety it is possibe to be shocked
When an electrical switch is in the off position, the circuit is interrupted. When the switch is on, the circuit is open and complete.

When you flip a switch on a flashlight, you complete an electrical circuit that allows a current to flow from the battery to the light bulb. This causes the light bulb to emit light and illuminate the surroundings.

The surrounding area adjacent to the light bulb becomes easier to see.
Add a light to switch from a different circuitI think here your concern is that you don't want change the performance of the circuit to which you add the light.so you have to use a relay or a solid state relay to the circuit and a separate power supply to the light in compliance with all the safety rules.
When you open a switch to a light for example, you cause a break in the flow of current to the light. Opening a light switch means you are turning the light off by stopping the flow of current to it. Closing a switch means you have completed a circuit (basically a loop) and current now flows causing the light to go on. Think of electricity like water. To cause your bath tub to fill up (light on) you have to also complete the circuit by turning the tap. Now we have water flow. (current) To stop the flow of water, we want to open the circuit by turning the tap in the opposite direction causing a break in the flow of water.
where is brake light switch
It is the brakes light switch
