has any one thought of a light that can be loaded into he breach of a shoot gun that changes colour when thetrigger is depressed for dry fire training
 
They had a system a decade ago where a laser diode inside a cartridge, acted like a boresight, and sent a beam of light that activated a target. The beam of light was triggered by the firing pin striking the primer / switch on the special cartridge. SIR had them.
 
practising skeet shooting in the living room using a lazer pointer and not putting holes in the wall cause no one makes a comercial gun simulator thats worth it
 
The best way I know for practicing any kind of shooting is getting a big box of bullets and going to the range and emptying the box. A light up the pipe will not tell you much. Espeacially if you are trailing or leading, over or above because to see it you will be stopping the barrel travel which in my experience will make you miss. You want to keep the barrel moving all the way through the swing including after you have fired for a nice shot flow.
My 2 cents rip it apart.

when i took my cfsc the instructers showed a video on shoot gun shooting and this is similar to one of the exersizes they showed
 
I am not condemning that method of training, I have just found that if you get out and shoot, preferably with expienced guys you will come along very quickly. Big box o bullets = fun

I don't think what you're describing will help you at all in terms of wingshooting. The only in-house training I know of that you can do with a shotgun is simply mounting the gun repeatedly; swinging and pulling the trigger for a light adds nothing. Do the mount in front of a mirror with the intention of pointing the gun at the reflection of your eye in the mirror. NOW you can accurately gauge whether you are looking exactly down the rib, and that the barrel is pointed dead on to where you're looking. This will 'burn' the proper mount and sight picture into your arms, shoulder, and cheek, so that when you go to the trap/skeet range you only have to focus on swing and lead. You MUST shoot to learn wingshooting, no way around it. And if you have experienced skeet shooters with you (I mean REALLY experienced guys) they can really help you sort out the problems - head off stock, stopping gun, no swing, behind, above, feet wrong, etc.
