Thanks

the light only comes on when it detects a reverse polarity, IE: if you using a 2 pin plug abroad, you would then need a small adapter to revert the polarity.. but there are arguments fro and against if that is even needed

Oh thanks very much for your reply - I did read the leaflet that came with it but it doesn't mention the red light! Honest.
