I used to buy 'em by the dozen from a store in Livonia, MI (No longer open to the public) now I buy 'em from All Electronics dot com

The former owner of our house scattered those around, both to light up when the switch is off, and to indicate some, so far undiscovered, time getting power :)

The pictured item could be LED type but it could also be the old style neon indicator.
I was recently testing some leds and got a surprise. The meter I use most of the time indicated bad led while I knew it was good. My Fluke 85 had no trouble determining the led was good. It turns out the meter that had trouble only puts out 2.5V in semiconductor test position while Fluke puts out 3.77V in the same position. 2.5V was not enough to turn white led on.
