Switch with integrated light?

Are there any instant update z-wave switches that include a really obvious indicator light as to the current status of the switch? When I say indicator light I’m thinking on the scale of [url=http://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-15-Amp-Combination-Switch-with-25-Watt-Neon-Pilot-Light-White-R52-05226-0WS/202035018]http://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-15-Amp-Combination-Switch-with-25-Watt-Neon-Pilot-Light-White-R52-05226-0WS/202035018[/url]

The leviton switches have a really tiny LED at the bottom thats not nearly big enough to do what I want.

The Cooper Aspires also have an LED light, but it is small, however I have found them to be visible/bright enough.

Another option would be to plug in a EZMultiPli sensor near your light switch, and turn on the night light when the switch is turned on. You will need a light switch that supports direct association or instant status on the light switch for this to work (either the Leviton or Cooper), so that you can trigger the nightlight to come on when the wall switch is used manually.

There is nothing that I know that has a light the size of the link you posted. As was said there are only small LEDs which are bright enough at night in a dark to keep you awake, but during the daylight I can see where it’s not as obvious.

If you have a regular switch in mind already (similar to the one you linked) you can keep that and install something such as the aeon labs micro smart switch: Amazon.com. It integrates into existing light switches.

You do need a neutral however, and as far as I can tell, it does not report instant status like the levitons do (I could be wrong about the latter part, need to check).

EDIT: Actually, i thought about it some more, and I’m afraid the switch you linked may not light up with the Aeon. The Aeon basically takes over switching functions and the physical switch becomes a toggle (it’s setup this way for situations where the physical status and zwave status are not consistent). Because of that, the light on the switch probably won’t turn on.
