The pole pig that feeds power to my fathers home has a lamp like the one 
you describe, it is always lit. I believe that it is an Indicator lamp 
which can be seen by lineman on the ground. I have also noted that most of 
the new pigs have either a built in breaker or some sort of ground fault 
interruptor.
