Where I lived when I had a sticks & Bricks there was an electronics supply house, the kind of store where "Joe's TV" shops for parts.
They had (Still do) have a bin (More than one) of indicator lamp assemblies.. They come in 120 volt (two black wires) and 12 volt (black/red) and assorted colors (No list as color don't matter for this post).
These mount in about a quarter inch hole (well, perhaps 7/32" or there abouts) with only a "Speed nut" on the back side They are plastic tubes, about 2" long wires out one end lens (And metal ring) other.
I wired one in parallel with the water heater.. So switch on, Little green light next to switch on.
I use a bunch of these for assorted reasons around the "house" for example I have a Jacks Down indicator I included on my home made jack control panel... Yup, same indicator (only red this time) I use them to detect 12 volt present on some interlock lines. I bought a small handful.. Still have a few left.
