I will be mounting this externally in view of the neighbor's house on
a seasonal cottage. I make few trips there in the winter, but would
like to have the neighbor (all year round resident) be easily able to
tell me if my power is off. (He has a phone, there is none at the
cottage.)
What should I use, neon, led,etc? It needs to be wall mountable,
and be easily seen, though it need not be very bright or large.
Suggestions appreciated. I just want to be sure it has a long
life so a burnt-out bulb won't be confused with no power.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You two have different power feed line?
I'd try high intensity LED of your color choice in a smal enclosure.
They are very bright and lasts LONG time using VERY small amount of
power like couple Watts.

Hi,
Last week end I was at local HD. Tehy had sale on LED bulbs which uses
2W. Had color choice of white, blue, red and changing multi color.
2 bucks each. I picked up a few.
