Sw De leds

[Steve Arnold]

Ok impossible question to answer I’m sure!!

It’s time I led my De Sw. So what are he best leds to fit? I have a ghostbusters which is leds from factory and I love the look and brightness of it. My eyes normally struggle with leds but they don’t with that game. I know they have come along way with design recently.
I have led strips in the back box which I’m happy with so it’s just general illumination and inserts.

Any ideas please as there is so much choice!!!
If anyone has a video of their De Sw with leds fitted that would be brilliant.
Also going to be doing my scares stiff and fish tales soon.

Thanks
Steve

I've been through every combination of colour/white/ghosting/non-ghosting leds. After my first couple of machines I've ditched colour leds for natural white.

I go for the cheap comets with an Afterglow/OCDLED board fitted to get rid of any ghosting and keep them smooth. The board adds to the cost but the cheap leds cover quite a bit of the Afterglow board.

These will probably get a Black Friday deal ....

Our best selling bulb. The best all-around bulb for brightness and longevity. If you're not sure what to get, this is it. Same bulb used for playfield illumination of new-in-box Stern machines.

Unfortunately I moved on my SW DE but it had a similar look to my JP DE below. The thing with DE is the strobe effect on the GI is over top with leds - a guy on PInside is doing another runoff boards to sort that. You could just leave the normal bulbs in the GI like people do with the flashers.

New home roms in and a pre video of progress so far. I'll do a proper video for YouTube at some point. Plenty of little jobs to finish first.
