Slight smell on both ends of 2-way switch
We have 2 switches that turn on our can lights in the kitchen. I smelled something today (which turned out NOT to be the light switches), but in trying to identify the smell, I turned the light switch on and noticed a slight (only if you put your nose up to the switch) smell. I then noticed that that you could also smell that (again, very slight) on the other switch to the kitchen lights.
The smell isn't necessarily burning - it's more of a metallic smell.
We know how to switch out light switches (including the 2/3 way ones). But given that it's on both ends, could this be another issue? And given that you only smell it when you put your nose RIGHT up to the switch, is it an issue at all?
Also, the smell dissipates quite quickly! Could it just be the smell of the metal as the current passes through?
Thanks
