How to switch off then? Sure everyone else in the room will not love it when the light goes out with the wheelchair user. Free choice, please, not just automation!

In Denmark the problem is usually the switches placed near the floor - the rest are _mostly_ OK, (if no furniture placed in front). cybs.dk
