Can the Lightswitch field have a default 'on' setting? I'm creating a new lightswitch field and adding it to an entry type in a section which already has dozens of entries. I want the lightswitch to be default set to 'on'.

When I save the entry type with the lightswitch field added to a tab, then inspect an entry in that section, the new lightswitch field is set to 'off'. Is this a bug?
For entries previously created, the lightswitch field will not be on even if you specified that as a field option. However, new entries should respect that field setting.

Are new entries not honoring your field settings?
