lamp indicator for live circuit
Im thinking of keeping a small light bulb plugged into the same dedicated outlet as a sump pump as an indicator that the circuit has power.
Is the risk of the lamp blowing and tripping a breaker worth the reward of knowing the circuit is live?
I dont want to rewire it with a pilot light, just a simple light will do.

Have you ever had a light bulb burn out and trip the circuit breaker?
I would use some LED light. It won't take much power and it can run for a really long time without burning out.

EL panels are arguably even more reliable than LED's. Even less current too.
They do need a dark basement to be visible across the room though.
