240 volt baseboard indicator light
I have posted about this before, but I now have a 240V indicator LED. I am trying to add a LED pilot lamp to a 240v 750 watt baseboard heater with a built in thermostat. I only want the LED to glow when the thermostat is ON. IS this possible to do? I have enclosed a link to the thermostat wiring?

you have a 240 volt LED? most leds are around 3 volt rated. Be sure of what you have.
It would seem you have a 2 pole t-stat so this is simple. You simply attach your indicator to the load side of the t-stat. When the stat energizes, you have 240 volts.
Not sure what the nomenclature on your t-stat is meant to be though. Can you explain that a bit?

baseboard heater
Yes it is a 240v indicator light as I had to search a good while to find one. The thermostat markings are L1 & L2 power in. The off I can only assume this means the thermostat is in off position and CYC I really don't know unless it means cycled on position.
