Should a toggle button show its current state or the state to which it will change?

I'd argue that a light switch has an indicator that shows the current state, separate from the switch.
Not if the globe has blown out, in which case you need the switch to indicate which state it is in (unless you like to live dangerously and change globes in lights that may be still on :-) ).
