Default Temp dumbie light

Does anyone know what temp the light comes on there is no actual gauge (I hate this by the way). Also is it hard to put in an actual gauge?

We're using a digital ScanGauge ('96 up OBD-II) and have momentarily seen 230F......the light never flickered. I believe 241.25F is where the "red zone" starts on the factory gauge. The ScanGauge just plugs into the ALDL port under the dash, again '96 up OBD-II. A traditional temp gauge will require tapping into a flowing engine coolant source in order to install a sending unit.
