After thinking about this a bit more, only one LED lights at a time. Otherwise it might be distracting to have them all lit up at night. The reason I know is because in N56ML, the three LEDs slightly "north" of the middle are dead on mine, killed by radio frequency energy. I noticed from the beginning that keying the mic lit whichever LED the indicator was pointing at, above and beyond the normal level. Eventually it killed three of them depending on which one was "indicating" at the time. I attribute this to either the fact that my trim servo wiring ran along with the radio coax for a few inches before separation, and/or because the trim power/signal wiring had a junction right at the center of the vertical stabilizer spars, which is where my radio antenna also split into two legs of the dipole. Lots of power exiting the plane, at that point! With this in mind, I rewired the trim tab wiring using shielded cable (grounded only on the panel end), and kept it well clear of the radio.
