Bob, et. al.,
I'm one of the guilty ones with an electronic EFIS and no warning
light for a low voltage. In a low voltage situation, my EFIS voltmeter
does flash, but I have determined that isn't a sufficient warning.
Thus I would like to install a low voltage warning light. To
complicate matters: however, I have a generic Ford regulator that does
not have a low voltage warning circuit. Is there a simple solution for
this situation?

Your choice. The operative word is "active".
If the nature of the warning provided as a
feature of a panel mounted accessory is sufficient
to get your attention within a minute of
onset of LV, then the design goals have been
met.
The B&C LR series regulators are shipped with
a rather obnoxious yellow warning light assembly
that is guaranteed to get your attention.
It's something you can experiment with in
flight. Shut the alternator off. Judge for
yourself if the resulting indication is sufficiently
attention getting.

Vans' carries one for $80. Pretty steep but looks elegant.
I have one similar which I got from electric Bob years ago for a lot
less, but don't think he is in that business any more.
