LED Options..

Spandangler · Feb 10, 2017

One hell of a difference. I need to get non ghosting leds for my wh20. Was looking at the comet ones too. So there's no uk supplier of non ghosting leds then?

Best at the moment are Comet sunshine.
Nothing else comes close.

I just finished replacing the incandescent GI lamps with @PinballDaze frosted globes, very nice LEDs for GI if you like the bright modern stern look ( I do! ). I fitted cool white but available in natural and warm. Loads of light spread from these....

Still inserts to do, but that will take a comet order unless someone else makes a good non ghosting LED ( not holding my breath ).

The old skool may hate it but I think it's a massive improvement. Good one. I think LEDs give massive options to improve. They come in different colours FFS - sod the dinosaurs. ;-)

Done right! Makes all that lovely artwork and pinball engineering pop out!

Put them side by side for a real A/B comparisson. Just stunning.

replicas · Feb 10, 2017

Massive difference.

Just sold out of them....

Looks great Kev. Those LEDs from Pinballdaze are the dogs böllocks.

Cointaker's are better. (EDIT: was referring to Comet sunshine's, not PinballDaze. My mistake)

Thanks for bursting my bubble.
Customers are just happy with the product I import and sell.

Why even post that? :hmm:

Just comes across as trolling

Are there any LED bulbs that give the look of original but slightly brighter? Not a fan of coloured GI LED....tbh not really a fan at all, but could be converted if it looked original. Absolutely hate the translates when they are so washed out u can't see the detail and get white blobs lol!

Just want reliable, but OE looking

Warm White could be your answer.

My apologies!! I clicked on the wrong reply button, I was mean't to reply to replica's comment about Comet sunshine's. I ordered packs of LED's from the US a few months back and found the Coin Taker ones to be better than Comet ones.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the LED's by PinballDaze hence why I posted the A/B comparison photo. It DOES look stunning.

Having a clumsy day.

I've just put in a big order for noflix plus LEDs from pinball.centre. It was a big investment but I hope it will be worth it. I've mostly followed their suggested guide from the kit but I've mixed it up a little bit for some variation.

So I know I'm not mr rationale around here, I tend to go crazy with my machines. All have LED-OCD, most have pin stadium (I don't like dark tables) and install led strips attached to flashers. I tend to use good quality comets, 2smd, largely the same in GI (unless it suits), I tend to use convolux neon protectors so cool white is best for them to work well. I just don't like warm white and their yellow-ish light.

Taking photos with an iphone isn't great as the blues and UV's/Purples totally saturate, but here goes. And I appreciate they aren't for everyone. The most blingy I have is AFMre which uses a Blue-green cross pulse and a blue pulse for when the barrier is down.

First 2 in a room with light on (WCS, TOM)
Last 8 in a dark room with Neons signs on. (All except for Iron Man and Tron have Pin Stadium).

All have comets, Led-OCD, Invisiglass.

I have an idea it might be better to get my half decent DSLR out to do these, the iPhone does a fair job at HDR shots but too many saturate out.

All look nicer and not *quite* as dramatic in the flesh.
