Re: LED's in my CFTBL - I am the pinball pimp ! - Pics

Took this shot especially for Pinfan.
I tried some various globes in the 3 x bumpers today , Ablaze3 green, 90 degree soft greens & normal incandescents - didnt like ANY of them - so they will be remaining 'dark'.

While I had the area a little more 'open' I took a better image of what the Orange lightning inserts look like with Ablaze3 LEDS under them... they look SO much better than the incandescent globes in this location.




I totally agree with Pinball God, I have LEDS in a lot of places in my games BUT a few area's remain standard globes as LED's dont suit some area's.
Apart from one or two globes on FH and WH20 I dont use LED's for GI anywhere.
I also dont use LED's in ANY backbox lighting.
An example of this is in the snack bar shot below where I am discussing 'bleeding' - I have left the large Mega Menu insert as normal bulb while all others around it are LED's - it didnt look good with an  LED under it.



For other CFTBL owners thinking of LED'ing this game....

I had a bit of 'bleeding' and also some bad shadowing in the 2 x RIGHT snack bar target lights with the LEDs because of thier proximity to the subway ramps - so I built a little black cardboard 'fence' that sits between the globes and screws in under one of the target screws under the playfield - worked a charm.......





GREEN Cliffy's anyone  !@#
