I know this may be a topic that has been travelled many times, but .....
Is there a low profile incandescent light (with standard bayonet fitting) that can be used in pop bumbers? I am thinking something along the lines of the profile of a 455, as below.
I know the 455 is a blinking type light - do not want a blinking light - just showing it here for the example of its profile. Hopefully by going with a lower profile, there would be minimal risk of burning the pop bumper cap. So, is there an incandescent type that would work here?
One of my machines (Skateball) does have LEDs in it (not sure what type of LED it is), but it constantly flickers which I do not want. I guess an alternative to incandescent would be an LED, but I'd prefer incandescent if possible. If finding an incandescent is not possible, then what LED type would work well that is also always on (ie. no flickering) for the pop bumpers?
These would be going into a few 1970's EMs, and SSs from the mid to late 1970's. Is LED flickering an issue for both DC powered (as would be for the SS) and AC powered (as would be for the EMs)? Thanks in advance.
Where did you get the leds from?
The cointaker ones normally don't flicker, but I have seen some cheap Chinese ones flicker, you may have one of these in there.
Are you getting the right voltage at the bulb?
