Which is odd, because the game has been generally very strict about this sort of thing so far. There's even a routine for printing "It's already ..." messages, TELL-ALREADY, that's used frequently.

It's probably METAL-DETECTOR-F that needs to check for this:

           (<VERB? LAMP-ON>
        <SETG DETECTOR-ON T>
        <TELL-SWITCH "on">
        <RTRUE>)
           (<VERB? LAMP-OFF>
        <SETG DETECTOR-ON <>>
        <TELL-SWITCH "off">
        <RTRUE>)
