If the output mosfets are biased to to draw current, the capacitors should discharge fairly quickly. If the LED is installed that would also give a visual indication of the capacitor being discharged.
Just checking the schematic, the LED would only indicate discharged capacitors if the power supply is unplugged and the power switch is left on.

2 channels up and running (heating)
17.27 / 0.360 and 17.34 / 0.366 V.
It feels a little hotter today, starting to get uncomfortable after about 5 seconds or so.
And the psu is also (as expected) heating up, but not as much as the amps.
Mine needs at least 10 to 15 minutes to reach stable temps and voltages.
All wires are in, will probably hook it up tomorrow.
But Nelson - green leds (???)😉

Loving the progress on your build perj!
I'm not satisfied with the LEDs either. They're 490 nm, which in theory is cyan, but in person they do just look green unless there's a normal green LED nearby to compare.
In the past I've used LEDs that cycle through several colors over time.
What do the cool kids use? Blue?

I use purple. Jameco used to carry them but I haven't seen them on their website lately. Lighthouse LEDs sells purple LEDs, and a dazzling variety of other colors & functions.
