Default Can an LED be rigged to show converter lockup

Is there any way to just simply wire an LED that would illuminate when the converter is locked? How hard would this be, any help would be appreciated.

well, im sure you could tap into the lockup wire (what you use for the lockup switch) and run an led to it, and ground the other side. when it gets voltage (from locking up) it would light- right?

If you can't tell without an LED, you need a bigger converter. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
