   a display showing when a pump turns on?

   From: dannyb@panix.com   
      
   Hoping somenone can give a pointer to a device   
   which I'd have thought would be readily available,   
   but I'm only finding Big Expensive Fullscale setups.   
      
   We've got a sump pump in the basement. I'd simply   
   like to know when it turns on (there's a "float" switch).   
      
   What I'm hoping for is a simple box that takes utility   
   power on one side, sends feeds out the other, and will light up   
   when the line side starts pulling current.   
      
   I can reroute the power supply to the pump to pass   
   through the upstairs where we can watch the lamp.   
      
   Thanks for any suggestions.
