Excuse my ignorance , but after seeing some more pics of pins with LED kits I am getting interested in this, but no little about it. I have read another thread that says blue looks great and I was thinking of doing something with WH20.
I am assuming that you buy the globe to match the colour of your insert?
What about GI lighting - White LED's or can you / should you do a 'colour thing' in place of the white bulbs ?
They just plug in like normal globes ?
They operate on the normal circuit , no need for any other adjustments anywhere, fuses etc?
Just plug and play - right ?
What did you have for breakfast this morning, what colour undie you wearing
Thankyou in advance
Hi Wotto,
Generally when I put in any order from RTBB - Greg is automatically reaching to the LED stocks!
Basically yes, most pinball insert colours are available. I've made my own kits (only for T2, 1/2 done for LAH) from RTBB. Basically I just got what ever the insert colour was. Clear inserts - with a white LED are awesome. Greens / blues are fantastic. The reds don't seem to have as much 'pop' to them. In the LAH, rather than go a red LED, I put a white LED in and it was a little brighter.
G.I - Not yet. I think LED's are too bright for playfield G.I. There a diffused ones available, but until they hit the shores I have not used them. I've put some white onces in the G.I lighting behind the translite, mixed with normal globes to highlight arnie etc..Looks great. I did the same on my Police Force - just were the police lights on translite are (blue) I put blue led's in. Heaps better...
They operate 100% normally. NO mods requried at all. Less heat and last for a very very long time. Of all the ones I've bought, only 1 DOA.
Just plug and awe! - although with the 555 globes - on the plastic base of the globe - there are the two wire contacts. Sometimes you need to give these a tweak out (just bend slightly to outside edge of globe) - only a tiny bit, just to make better contact.
-Toast and blue.
