If you want to sell on the audiophile market, you really should get a blue
glow in there; everybody will assume it's a new variation on the Beam Power
Tube.  Convince them that it's a new Ballistic Transport (Beam Power?) FET.
If you have to use a LED, then use green, but be sure to use one that has a
clear plastic lens so that people can't identify it for what it is.  (That
green illumenator LED used behind the power indicator on the Olivet######AT&T
PCs should do the job.)
