The last answer is incorrect. Some GFCI's are designed to light up when working, some are designed to light up when tripped, some are designed to have different color lights depending on normal or tripped conditions. The only way to tell if the receptacle has power is to TEST it. If the GFCI is supposed to be tripped and power is still available, it is either not operating properly or it is not wired properly. If in doubt, have an electrician inspect it for proper operation. <><><> Incorrect answer: >>Provided that the GFCI is wired correctly, the indicator light indicates that the receptacles have power. If the light is off there is a ground fault. In other words, the light should always be on.<<
