Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / UV lamp for swimming pools
Spanish term or phrase: testigo de funcionamiento
Not much context, these are UV lamps used for disinfecting swimming pools.Each lamp has a timer, circuit breaker and a "testigo de funcionamiento"

Is it just a pilot light or something swankier?

on/off indicator light
Explanation:
Testigo is an indicator light...so I would use on/off indicator light, since that's what it's showing.

Lots of refs. here:

I should say that there are also refs. to \"operation indicator light,\" if you prefer that, but many more for on/off.
