Light as hell (English/German)

I remember an American colleague giving a talk at the university of Göttingen. After showing some slides he wanted to turn on the light again, but hesitated to press the button labelled hell. I don't know what he expected to happen and there was no need to worry anyway because in German it is just the adjective 'light'.
