Any suggestions for a source of illuminated light switch as a reminder
that the light it feeds is still on? We have a loo under the stairs with the light switch on the outside and it sometimes gets left switched on so the fan remains running (as well as the light being on). I don't want to fit a clunky 20Amp DP mains switch like this http://www.fastlec.co.uk/mk-20a-dp-s...whi-p-538.html or this http://www.fastlec.co.uk/mk-20a-dp-s...whi-p-539.html What I really want is a basic light switch like this http://www.fastlec.co.uk/mk-10a-1g-s...whi-p-511.html but with a neon indicator incorporated. I can't find such a thing, the nearest being this http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/DT2503A.html but it works the wrong way round - the illumination is 'on' when the switch is 'off' - its so you can find the switch in the dark. I suspect the wiring could be reversed, but as it's intended to show up in the dark it may not be bright enough for use in a lighted area. I also found this http://www.fastlec.co.uk/mk-neon-loc...041-p-496.html which is an illuminated section that sits between the switch and the back-box. Again I'm not sure if its bright enough and it seems a bit of an overkill. I'm considering modifying a standard light switch by drilling a hole into which a small neon or LED is fitted. There is some safety consideration here so wonder if there is suitable double insulated neon/led available. Failing that I think I need to create some kind or perspex window in the switch with the neon/led behind it. Any thoughts? Phil |
