How do I wire a pair of 110V LED indicator lights on my well house heat light rig?
It consists of a 2-wire w/ground 14ga cord that I plug into an always hot outlet. On this cord in linear order starting with the plug is a thermo-switch set at an on at 35F and an off 40 degrees, then a 125W chick heat lamp screwed into an outdoor spot light socket mounted on a round, deep electrical outlet box, followed by another 125W chick heat lamp screwed into an outdoor spot light socket mounted on a round, deep electrical outlet box. The lights are wired in a parallel configuration so if one bulb burns out, hopefully I still have one burning. I'd like to wire an indicator light to each heat lamp so I can tell if both/either are working, then mount the indicator lights to the outside of my insulated cinder block well house. Can you walk me through the wiring sequence so with confidence I can tell if I have heat in the well house without going out and opening the door and looking inside?
