How to Hook-up an LED-Lit Rocker Switch with 115V AC Power W/o Blowing the LED?
it can be done . you would need to connect neutral direct to the load. the LED terminal would need to be connected to neutral via a series capacitor resistor network. You can find what components you need from searching the web for "lighting an LED from 115volts". Note that a special quality capacitor intended for line/mains use would be required. Like you suggested,it may be simpler and probably cost no more to buy a neon switch .
