That is up on black back on white rule…. And there is no neutral involved. You’re making the white wire hot……………..hence phasing it black.

Switching a neutral will never work…. In you single phase home…. It just won’t really work.

On a three phase system, well breaking or switching a neutral will create a dangerously unbalanced load. Possibly resulting in blowing up your lights and electronics.

Don’t ever switch a neutral. You can use the white wire as hot in one specific scenario. But it is NOT a neutral.
