Where is everyone buying LEDS from nowerdays? Anywhere in the UK?

Ideally I’m looking for a place that does full game kits

Thanks
 
A while since I bought, but be aware that playfield/full sets might not include underplayfield bulbs or flashers or backbox
 
I don't understand the desire for LED kits.

Just buy a load of cool, sunlight and warm white comets and chuck em in. I've never felt a need to colour match, when I've tried it's washed out the inserts.

Whoever makes the kits has their own preference. It's cheaper just to get whites of different tones which can compliment the inserts without overdoing it (eg, cool white under blue, warm white under red etc).

The manual usually tells you which inserts are wedges or bayonets so if you want to be exact it doesn't take time to get a rough amount and then round up so you can experiment or cover any you may have missed.
 
As above , this works great for those of us with multiple machines and experience, but for people starting off on their first conversion , a kit is the way to go, we soon learn what works for us- definitely not led flashers if you like to play in the dark

I think you have a fair point, but the kits are fool proof and I am also a fan of colour matching inserts.

All I do know is you have to buy quality (Comet), as there are loads of poor quality LEDs.
 
Thanks all
The problem I have is knowing what to get so thought a “full kit” option would be easier!
 
Yeah I get that, I was like that before.

I just look at the manual or playfield and do a rough estimate of how many. I guess I'm really picky about the choices in kits.
I'm not a fan of the LEDs without lenses either, which plague kits 😬
