There are four ways to configure a phrasal verb with its object if we consider the position of the object and whether the object is a pronoun or not.
switch [noun] on
switch on [noun]
switch [pronoun] on
switch on [

Futher to the replies above, this one is avoided when "Sth" is a long phrase, to prevent the small word "on" being lost at the end. For example, "Did you switch the light in the corridor whose bulb was replaced yesterday on?" feels awkward.
