(Every GFCI in my house has a red light and is doing what im about to describe)

None of these outlets have a spot for a green light (that I can see)

I noticed the red light was on. (Solid, not blinking)


I plugged in the outlet tester which indicted it has power and is wired correctly.

I pressed TEST.

this caused the red light to turn off and the test button to pop Out. The outlet tester indicated there was no power to the outlet.

Then I pressed RESET

Then the red light turned back on, power turned back on as well.

Is this red light normal? Is it supposed to be on?

Also can anyone help me figure out the brand? I can't find anything when I google "QUICK" (BOTTom right corner of outlet)
Every GFCI in my house is doing this

KLEIN indicates it is wired correctly, see 2nd picture
Thank you!

That is normal. the Red light just shows that the outlet has power. If you really want to know the manufacturer shut the breaker off and pull the receptacle out and you can ID it from the backside.
