Default Pass blue meter light = LED?

In the newer .8 series, are the blue meter lights LED or traditional bulb? Curious.... Thx

For the .5 series I'm pretty sure the blue lights are LEDs.

If its blue its an LED, seems to be a mantra for audio equipment

There was a time when LED's were considered bad for analogue circuits, what changed?
BTW where are the bi and tri coloured LED's nowadays?

from Absolute sound:

`...With the success of the INT-150 under its belt, Pass Labs has taken the next logical step by releasing not one but two new integrated offerings, the INT-60 and INT-250. Both are Class AB designs with heavy Class A bias based on Pass Labs' latest Point 8 Series of amplifiers. The INT-250—the subject of this review—weighs in at 105 pounds and outputs 250Wpc into 8 ohms and a stump-pulling 500Wpc into 4 ohms. It was optimized for greater flexibility with grunt-worthy speaker loads of 86dB sensitivity or less. The INT-250 features high-voltage rails and output stages, along with the iconic glowing meter found on Pass Labs’ Point 8 amplifiers, direct-access buttons for the four inputs on the faceplate, and a blue LED output-level display. The volume control knob, which is about the size of a hockey puck, is solid aluminum and beautifully weighted—it’s an old-school joy to use... `

Can confirm it´s leds. I have replaced all on my XA60.5 monoblocks.
A bit nerv racking but it was a pretty easy operation. One of the Monoblocks small leds, that always is on, was bad and I decided to replace all when I was at it.
