My garage is attached to the house with a 3-way lighting circuit.
Sometimes the family leave these lights on and this is only discovered
when someone goes outside and notices the fact. One of the light
switches is inside the house (next to an internal door into the garage)
while the remainder are at either ends of the garage. I'd like to add an
indicator to the indoor switch to show when the lights are on. Because
it's a 3-way circuit, I think I need a new cable from the lights to this
switch. It's a single gang box but I am struggling to find a switch with
neon indicator that is fed separately. I'm sure this is all achievable
using a modular faceplate but frankly I'm hoping to avoid the expense
(of modular).

I am hoping someone can confirm I need to add a new cable for this, and
suggestions for a switch+(separate) neon indicator faceplate ?

Thanks Paul


Thanks for the suggestions & comments. The switch in the house is an
intermediate but nearby (inside the garage) is the switch with live &
switched live. So I've been able to lay another cable from this garage
switch to the switch in the house, with a view to using an MK K3041 Neon
Switch Locator, or MK Gridswitch with an neon indicator. Am I correct in
thinking I need to use both wires of this new cable rather than just the
neutral ?

Thanks Paul
