[warning: wall power issues ahead]
I had a friend send me an LED strip with a USA wall ac to 12v dc PSU, so I slapped a 3-pin wall cable on it and spliced a toggle button into it. Everything works fine buuuut...
If I put my finger here (assuming it's a resistor?)
I get some current, like so, even when the toggle's off
Either the toggle's crappy or I screwed up my solder work somehow (and I don't see how). Do I have a fire and/or shock hazard?
For sake of completeness, pics of solder work are below. Of course, critique of solder work is welcome and appreciated. The only thing I can't do is open up the toggle switch casing because it has some weird tamper proof screws.
