Why do light switches crackle?
Either the wire insulation is worn, or the lines get loose. The copper wiring is exposed to the air, and when electricity flows, it escapes through these gaps or holes, causing heat to accumulate. These crackling or popping sounds indicate the currents arcing inside the circuit.

Why are light switches yellow?
Most plastic electric switch covers are treated with bromine, a flame retardant. When exposed to ultraviolet rays, bromine turns yellow, making your switches look old and worn out.
