I own an ice cream machine which is perfect, except it lacks a light so one can check the state of the process. The motor case would be the perfect place to install a white LED, which will consume just 20-50mA current.
My problem is: the motor is powered by 240V AC, as shown in the following three photos.

All Connections
The Label on the Motor
The label on the motor contains this text:
6020D 220-240V 50Hz
20W Class B

There are four connectors, neutral N
and phase L
and two unknown 1
and 2
wires.
Question
What would be the safest way to power a 20-50mA white LED from these wires?
- There is only enough space for an SMD LED. A regular indicator LED is too bulky.
- I can easily create a custom PCB for the solution.
- I can also create professional connectors and insulated cables.
- The solution can be complicated and expensive, involving special chips and components.
