I've been using LEDs for years now, including LED replacements for small dial lamps such as #44 and #46, with no RFI issues.

I've even picked up small radios while they were in operation and placed them close to an LED lamp or fixture - only when the radio was practically against the fixture did the RFI hash come through.

YMMV of course.

I would be willing to take the chance on an LED such as the one I linked to. If it didn't work (RFI), then only about $3 lost. There is a metal shield under the chassis with a hole in it for the lamp, which should help shield the chassis from RFI.
