I'm looking for a visible notification, like a flashing light, to inform me when a sensor goes down.
How can I accomplish this?

PTF TrafficLight is an application that scans your PRTG Network Monitor installation for Down and Warning sensors and lights up the lights on a Cleware Traffic Light accordingly.

Just to second the Blink(1) suggestion. This is absolutely brilliant. I have one taped to the top of my monitor, when it unexpectedly turns red I know to check PRTG. The problem with alert emails is you get so many that you have to filter them somewhere and they get missed.

The PTF.Blink(1) application now supports a maximum of 4 Blink(1) devices.
Plugging them in an USB Hub will give a cool effect, taping the hub to the back of your monitor.
Each device can be set to monitor a combination of nodes in your PRTG device tree
