Seems like a solution in search of a problem.
Comment on Appliances with an off light.

Off lights let you know if it’s broken. If it’s on, it’s obviously working. If it’s off and the light is on, it’s getting power. If it’s off and plugged in, but not displaying the light - that indicates it’s broken or not getting power.

Seems reasonable on something dangerous like a toaster oven or pressure cooker that you obviously wouldn’t want to leave on an unattended. These lights use almost no power at all.

You could also just try turning it on to see if it has power. I don’t see how the light is actually useful for this.
