No low power warning on lasers?

I was surprised to find that lasers don't show the red triangle that warns of low power.
I have a base that's powered by steam only. Not a lot of excess capacity. I went away fighting biters with laser turret creep for half an hour. See some messages about destroyed lasers, run back. And my base is unpowered. I have coal mines and solid-fuel producing plants, but no fuel in the boilers.
Probably my heavy laser usage made my whole base run low on power too many times, which slowed down fuel creation, which led to a doom spiral. My own fault really.... but I was surprised I never saw the red warning triangle on my lasers, still don't even when they fail to fire due to no power.
Is this normal in 0.12.21? Did you get the warning in 0.11? I am running some mods, but they aren't supposed to affect the turrets or power generation at all.
