 		 #90615 - Wall Wart
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Kai Klaas said:
This would hold the signal for a rather long period of time, when not being discharged by rather low impedance.

You could also use the "wall wart" to drive a small incandescent lamp as a "mains on" indicator. That'd speed up the discharge!

Two birds with one stone!
