Power notifications in the field

Looking for thoughts/opinions. I manage about 170 warehouses throughout the country and have a staff of 7, most residing in our HQ. In these 170 massive buildings, my IDFs are located on the ceiling and can only be reached with a lift which most places don't have on hand (cost a few hundred to rent).

My main problem occurs when a switch goes offline in one of these IDFs, how do we figure out what the problem is. Sometimes it's power, sometimes it's the device itself. Either way it can take up to a week to get the answer. I'm thinking about putting a magnetic light on the IDF to tell me when the power is out. How much maintenance or false positives am I signing myself up for here?
