You are already hinting at the answer in your question post. No relay, the full juice goes thru the lightswitch.

There are a few companies who produce ready made solutions to improve things via a relay and avoid burning up your lightswitch. A recent thread gives some details. Thumbs Up

A few days ago my light switch become defective and stopped working.

Since the original spare part is very expensive, I rebuild it and added a relay using a scheme found on the web to avoid problem in the future. A cheap and easy to made mod.
