LED's glowing

just a little smoke and smell, and maybe a fairly gentile "phutt" :)
The problem is not the exploding arc resistor so much as the debris spread over the back of the switch, condensed metal vapour can make "interesting " conductive paths across the insulation.

Probably the most embarrassing variant is to spend a vast amount of time and effort addressing a 'problem' which one has been 'talked into' believing is present, only to eventually find that were was never actually any problem at all - at least, not with whatever one had been arduously 'fixing'!!

Being a 'self employed subby' a lot of my work is under the 'I'm the engineer' or 'I'm the consultant' thumb and frequently had to do stuff under their instruction even though I know it's wrong. I have found that keeping my emails has saved me [and earnt me!!] a lot of money where I've pointed something out before the event.

This will not come under the explosion category, certainly not like switching into direct short.
