Switch with LED Indicator

There are switches where the toggle lights up, but it's really the same answer as the one to your other post - put in a motion sensor control so the power would only be on when someone is in the closet.

As an aside, if you have a true pilot light switch, you will need to have a neutral available in the switch box, which you will not if your house is wired with switch legs.

I suppose you could cheat and use the ground, but if this is in a bedroom closet, current code requires an AFCI which does have a built in GFCI. Now I doubt that the LED that you're thinking of using will draw enough current to be an issue, but it *will* make the GFCI that much more sensitive (that is, the threshold of a ground fault trip would be reduced by the current draw of your LED.) Not to mention that that is probably a code violation.

No, I can't think of anything that fits exactly what you're describing, but this might work:

There are toggle switches with lights in the handle. There is "illuminated", which connects just as the existing switch, and the light is on when the switch is off. There is pilot light, which requires a neutral, which may or may not exist in the switch box. This type of switch, the light is on when the switch is on. Here is a link:

or just add a neon pilot light, they use a tiny amount of power
