It's not a biggie but I know myself how any lack of feedback that the
bell has sounded can be frustrating and it must be even more so if you
have to press 100+ a day to earn a living. ;-(

If a delivery man can't hear a bell, do you think he'd be impressed with a
LED?

Possibly not, but possibly yes (as I've looked for similar if I can't
hear anything and they must see / hear a fair few in their day)?

My bell is mains via a transformer and the light in the push goes out
when the bell rings.

Yeah, that is an advantage with mains driven ones.

Which you can hear from outside the house too.

You can mine, if it happens to be quiet and you know what to listen
for. It's just not 'blatantly obvious'.

Doesn't stop them banging on the door.

I'm going to have a word with the one who often sounds like he's
trying to break the front door down and was then surprised when the
dog told him off [1]. ;-)

[1] Funnily enough he might just bark once if someone knocks or rings
the bell and is keen to see who it is, *especially* if he thinks it's
his Mum [2]. ;-)

[2] In spite of the TV being in and not being able to hear much of
what going on outside he *can* hear her (quiet / ordinary Corsa) drive
past as he pricks his ears up and looks at where the front door is,
through the lounge wall. ;-)
