Why does the light turn on when the switch is turned off?

Hello! There is a switch for 2 keys with a light bulb. One key works as it should, turns off the light in the kitchen. The second key should turn off the light in the corridor + the switch lamp itself is installed on this key. So, when this key is turned on, the light on both the switch and the lamp in the corridor goes out. And when it turns off, the light on the switch lights up and in the corridor 1 of 3 energy-saving light bulbs starts to burn (and very weakly).

    Hello! The backlight of the switch is lit sequentially with the lamp lamp. It should turn off when the switch button is turned on. A faint glow or the blinking of off energy-saving lamps when using illuminated switches is normal. You better tell me when it started? As it was before? Did you make repairs or make wiring changes during this time?
    Check whether phase and zero come to the lamp with the switch on. Next, take a known-good switch and check if it is not available - close the wires to and from the switch (incoming phase from the outgoing circuit to the faulty circuit).
    You can also check by screwing incandescent bulbs into the lamp.

    Previously, there was only lighting in the kitchen. I moved the switch to the corridor, made it double and put the lamp in the corridor. Himself only held the cable and mounted the lamp. Deal with the box invited the master. He says that he connected everything correctly, but the light on the lamp in the corridor appears only when the switch button is off. In the luminaire itself there are 3 bulbs: 1 energy-saving (lights when turned off) and 2 incandescent (do not light at all).
