Hi, I have broached this subject before out of interest but have lost the thread -
i now have a requirement to replace a normal light switch with some sort of neon or illumination to indicate its on.. there is no neutral at the switch so a DP indicated switch etc is not on. It will be a big job to run a neutral to it.
i know there are switches with some sort of glow neon behind the fascia so you can locate it in the dark - has anyone got any info on these, what are they called? do they need a neutral? who supplies them? any other alternatives? I realise its in reverse ie the light is on when the switch is off but this would be acceptable to the customer.
Any info would be much appreciated..
Many thanks..
 
yes mk and crabtree sell them and they are just wired across the switch
can get them in most wholesalers, screwfix etc etc
