Help needed, 805 tubes

I`m a little worried, i`m running 805 set, and all voltages seem to be correct, and bias seems to be correct. The tubes are sounding great, the thing that worries me is that with all the lights out in the dark of night,i can see a very faint glow of red through the plates, is this standard for the 805 because of it`s very strong filament you cannot see it in the day, that`s how faint it is and it`s all over the plate not just in one spot, can anyone who runs 805`s look at theirs in the dark after it`s been on for a good hour and tell me if it`s normal, so i can get some sleep.
Thanks George
