I'm not sure about the flashing part. Look for a pilot light switch or an illuminated light
switch. One potential problem is you would need a neutral wire in the switch box. It's
possible there isn't one already there.
Why not get a spring loaded light switch? Twist the knob to set it for, let's say, 20 minutes.
It will automatically shut things off after that 20 minutes.

Not all illuminated switches require neutrals.

In addition, some of the smart switches in the Caséta line from Lutron
don't require neutrals either.

And hopefully not create a dangerous "plunged into darkness" situation. :-O

Maybe some LED night lights scattered around here and there could be part of
the solution.

"Switch remains illuminated in the OFF position, so it is easy to locate in a dark room"

That's not an indicator switch, where it's lit only when the switch is on.
It's just an always lit switch so you can see it in the dark.
