What is the purpose of the light on the GFCI.

It obviously does not show that the GFCI is working.

All the ones I have seen with an led only lite when it is tripped or blown.

Using a 1500w hairdyer on a 15 amp GFIC can kill them over a period of time.
Also sometimes they just die, always in the tripped position has been my
experience.
