On my upcoming trip to Charlotte, North Carolina, I've been looking at railroad crossings along the Lynx Light Rail, and found out that they have some kind of 8 inch lights with some kind of white LEDs in them. I can't tell what kind of LEDs they are, but here's a close-up of one of them on the line:
I also found a few in action in a YouTube video as well. (Skip to the following time stamps: 2:51 and 7:18)

Those lights are indications to the operator of the tram that the crossing is functioning. Lights AFAIK might be WCH 8 inch lights, although i may be wrong.

I know those are indications, but I’m just asking for the type of LEDs though. And yes, those are WCH 8 inchers.

I think you're right. Because when I was scouting along the line, those look like to be US&S E-Bells. Though the lights are too US&S 12x24s too. When I get out to those crossings there, I will list the 8 inchers as, 1 Pair of (Name) 8 inch lights with US&S White LEDs though.
Although North of the line is mostly WCH Equipment, along with Safetran 8 inch lights that might be Safetran Fading LEDs...

I already told you on Discord (I think yesterday) that the white LEDs are from Safetran.

Although they might’ve been US&S LEDs though. I think that since you classify them as Safetran Fading, that’s what I will go with.
