Default double switch for outside lights

I am about to add 2 outside wall lights. From inside the house it It
will not be obvious if it has been forgotten to switch off either.
Thus am looking for suitable double switch (preferably standard white)
with a worry factor built in such as a neon reminder.

Nearest I can find is two separate square switches with neon, (double
pole type intended for flex outlets) which would have to be mounted
side by side on a dual backing box.

Not very neat & switch rating is OTT. Any better suggestions would be
appreciated.


How do most people work out if the lights in the house are on or off?

1) look at the light fitting - if it's bright the light is on
2) or if the lamp has blown or is out of sight you look at the light
switch and see if it's in the up position

Can't you just look at the switch?
