Does the green light indicating the switch is on consume very little electricity? Anyone know if it is LED?

It only consumes energy when it's running. You can set it for 30 minutes, 3hrs or 6 hrs and it turns off automatically. LED? not sure about that. I don't remember the paperwork saying anything about that it being LED or the old original light. Sorry!

When the light is on, the switch is on. I use six in my home, and I turn them off whenever I leave home. My first instance a few years back, I noticed a savings of about $20+ a month.

I'm pretty sure it's referring to the power supply as it says "Green LED on Power supply..." Yeah?

No power consumption is given - it is a very bright array of LED's (28!) - almost too bright for my purpose of a key-board light - almost like a small desk lamp.So, based on brightness alone, it is not the lowest one out there for low power. Good light source however -

Yes. What you're doing is giving your outlet and on off switch. When it's turned on, the switch will light up green and the outlet will be powered.

No, the green light comes on when you touch a control button and goes off in about 7 seconds.

Yes, there is a little button and 3 green lights. U hold down the button and it lights up showing how much power there is. 1 light = low 3= full etc.

My light is green. I think it was red when I first plugged it in. I leave it plugged in after each use, so it's always green. Hope this helps.

NO, but it is a light green. The light that is on in this picture is when you click it on twice for the 7 hrs on and off thing. I never use that. A straight 3 hrs is plenty for me. That light has never been a problem.

Nope, no indicator light ... usually, when this switch is on the machine is running.You can install a "pilot" light to indicate that power is available by wiring across the AC line when installing the switch.

I believe the switch begins to glow red instead of green when the battery is low.

no the switch is only lighted when the unit is on. other than that the units work very well, but the leads are short for a large pick up.

The unit itself has no power-consumption rating that I can see. If I had to guess, I'd say it consumes probably as much power as a night-light, or less. The unit itself is basically a volt/amp meter coupled with a display - none of these are power-hungry components.

mine does not have a green light, just the red one, I assume you are talking about the board... I would verify that you have 12 VDC and ground to the board, if so, hold the button down on the board, if the light does not come on or start blinking I would suggest getting it replaced under warranty if that is an option..

When properly working the two green lights and top red light on each side will be lit. any other combo will indicate an issue with power.

The switch gets its power by using the ground connection as a neutral, so it's running a small amount of current between live and ground. It's not a lot of power, just enough to run the detection circuitry, but it might draw enough for your GFCI to notice when it flips the relay.

Yes, a faint light (mine is green) shows from within the colored slider piece.

THERE IS ONLY ONE LIGHT ON THE MACHINE. It has a small green light to signal the power is on. You would not even notice it unless you looked directly at the machine.
