or even 3 color led(do they make those?) so that we could have a warning color in
between?
if we want to go realy exotic.. perhaps a bar led to show a range, usefull with people that are cooling more then one machine with a radbox.

How about hooking it up to an airhorn, or maybe have it dial your cel phone.

But seriously, a bi-polar LED is one that turns green or red depending on direction of current. They also make the tri-color LED's (they have three pins instead of just 2), and they're not that much more difficult to connect, but in either case, the set-point functionality would probably be a requirement for a bi-polar or tri-color LED to work. I have two separate loops. LED hookups would be fine for me.
