I have 6 simple 25watt light bulbs(120vac) in various places and I can't see them all. If one of the lights is turned on I would like a simple way to indicate to me at my desk, which is away from the lights, that a particular light is on. Is there any simple circuit I can make to detect the bulbs other than running 120v wire from each bulb to a box beside my desk? Even wireless or a ready made detection system would be good. I was thinking of using a
AcuAMP AC Current Indicator
ACL1 AC Current Indicator. This has a led output and can detect currents of .5amp. A 25 watt lightbulb will take only .2 amps So to make a long story short. I would like to wire up a simple circuit that can detect a 25 watt lightbulb when turned on and wirelessly turn on a simple light at my desk.
