    Monitoring AC Track Voltage

    Just wondering what you are using for monitoring of AC Track Voltage. Also we have sections of track we need to setup to about 16 volts using a Cab-1. Has anyone succesfully used a light bulb or series of LED's to remotely monitor this voltage, if so what voltage lamp? Thanks, Dave
