MJ's AFM led upgrade
« on: November 05, 2013, 09:00:17 PM »
Just thought I would share a couple of videos of a LED upgrade I did on the Attack From Mars mother ship.

The LEDs were sourced overseas from http://www.superbrightleds.com

Basically the old LED's just get desoldered, solder the new ones in and your're done.  All up took about 20 minutes for the entire job.

Its a bit hard to pick up in the video, but they are REALLY bright !

The difference is outstanding and makes a huge difference.  All up, I think it cost just under $30.00 inc delivery!

A video of it in the dark:

Wow!! Now that's a lighting upgrade I like!

Need sunny's while playing, looks great.

The first video reminds me of a Blair witch style movie about aliens that are outside a house. This major glow coming from under the front door and this little kid going to open it. The light from the Afm lighting up your room gives the same feel. Dunno what the reality style movie was called sorry.
Still loving my Metallica Premium
