pop bumper globe sockets
« on: September 26, 2012, 04:49:08 PM »
In the older Ballys they use #44 light sockets for Pop Bumpers. I can't see why I can't use the newer #555 sockets but would like to know if this is correct.

Is there any reason for not doing this apart from its not original? Its just I can't seem to find the quantity I need in Oz.
Still loving my Metallica Premium

No reason at all so long as the bulb isnt touching the inside of the cap

I would go LED inside pop bumpers for reliability
