Title: What Bulbs do I need?
Post by: Peach on January 05, 2009, 11:52:28 AM

Hi Guys,Sorry if this is a dumb question,I am just about to put in an order for some new balls and thought I may as well get some bulbs too,but I had no idea there are so many to choose from,which ones do I need for an EM.
Cheers Peach %$%

Mostly #44, but I tend to use #47 as they create a lot less heat.

They should look like this (bayonet type lamps)

Also order yourself some #455 self flashers - youll need these in the backbox, particularly behind the name of the machine

Yep that is them, as gav said they look excellent behind the name of the game on the backglass. You can also use them behind 'points of interest' like fire or explosions on the backglass
