I have an oil filled electric heater. It has an on/ off led rocker switch and a separate thermostat adjuster knob. If I go out of the room when the thermostat has turned off the heat, the rocker switch is not lit up. It only lights when the heater is heating. I can therefore leave the heater on all night. I have been thinking how to avoid this:
I propose to install another led indicator that lights when the power is on, even when the rocker switch is not lit. I found a 230v, 22mm, panel indicator on CPC farnell that looks very suitable. I attach the spec sheet 2283118.pdf
I propose to wire the panel indicator in parallel into the rocker switch load side.
Can I assume this indicator works with 240v AC?
The heater is 1500w 240v. Will I need any resistors or other electronics between the power source and the lamp?
