BC125AT: LED lights

Does anyone know if the LED lighting in the 125 AT are actual orange LEDs or an orange tinted screen? I ask because I am looking to get a BCD352 but the orange light bothers me. I was wondering if it could be changed.

Put a piece of electrical tape over it.

I am sorry sir/mam. I was actually looking for a useful, non sarcastic answer.

I'm pretty sure the LEDs are orange. The screen is not orange as can be seen by the backlight off.

I was thinking it was a power light indicator.

Few (if any) scanners have power indicator LEDs.

Thank you Voyager.

KK4JUG, no I was referring to the actual screen lights.
