      Technically yes, as do those switches internally, but if the device you’re plugging in is switched off or pulls a very small load it won’t be much. If you’re plugging in an air conditioner or something that’s going to present a big inductive load, and it is switched on so it will get power the instant it plugs in, yeah you might see a little flash of light. make sure such things are switched off before plugging them in.
