Neon Light switch

[Mini1961]

Hi Guys

In my hall way i have put the light switch for the loft lights next to the hall's intermiadiate switch, is there a switch that has a neon in it to distinguish if the loft lights have been left on and to distinguish between the two switches,

Thanks in advance

I think one of these is what you want

You can get switches with neons built in (and fuses too). They're double pole and are typically used for things like immersion heaters but you can use them for lights if you like. The problem is, do you have access to a neutral for the other side of the neon?

Edit: Cleverspark beat me to the switch. Now, about that neutral connection ---

Not to my knowledge, but some ideas here

Thanks All It sounds like it may be easier to drop the supply to the switch and loop back out to the circuit then it would be easier to use a Dp non fused fcu with neon,

Does this sound better.

Thanks Mini1961

Yes, excellent solution.
That is how I would wire up a "have I left my loft light on?" indicator.
