I have some relays that route 24VAC to a irrigation valve when activated and I would like to have a visual indication that shows which relays are activated. Relays are visible so I could easily do it with a LED bridged across the relay contacts if that would work. In effect, I want a LED to light up when 24 VAC is applied to it.
Any trick to that other than just wiring a LED between the common and hot leg? Prefer to avoid other parts such as resistors if possible. Any suggested model of LED that can handle 24VAC and is readily available at local Radio Shack? I checked the Radio Shack web site and many of the LED's do not provide info on their voltage limits
