ness or dim light) is too weak to be seen in a sunny or brightly illuminated place. When the switch is turned on, the lamp is out of circuit and goes out.
The device can be recom mended for installations where it is a matter of importance to know that a given wall switch is off. It would not be recom mended for ordinary use on ac
count of the probable necessity of replacing it at rather fre quent intervals in normal ser vice. (A specific answer can not be given on this point since there was not time to run life tests, but advertis'ng by the General Electric Co. of the type of neon lamp used in this switch plate indicates a life of about 3000 hours--which would be equivalent to about 125 days with the lamp burning con stantly, that is with the switch lever in the off position.) The manufacture of this device should provide a very satisfac tory margin for the manufac turer as the concealed lamp which forms the working basis of the device is in itself very inexpensive, its retail price being only 8c. The retail value of the small resistor would be perhaps another 5c.
