Obviously. Would you want a switch that would stay at one setting (on or off) all the time? Then that wouldn't be a switch, would it?

When the magnet is close to the switch, it turns on, but when the magnet is removed, it turns off.

no that when you swipe it to one side , lets say to the right the switch turns one, and when you swipe it to the left it stays off.

The stiffness of the reeds causes them to separate, and open the circuit, upon removal of the magnetic field.</TD></TR></TABLE>
