I’ve got a DESW play field I’m converting into wall art
Does anybody have any recommendations for lighting behind the inserts
I know Alan in Yorkshire did a magnificent job on the ones he’s fixed to his ceiling
I have also seen people have mixed results with fairy lights (Non specific)
Can anybody help with something specific
Cheers Barry
 
Led 5m strip with remote from Amazon, used black card to blank out any holes that weren’t inserts, 1cm square wood round the edge and a hard board back. Cost **** all & looks great!

Personally prefer the subtle, non flashy, nor colour-changing approach, though i admire what others have done (i couldn't - too stupid).

i did this: https://www.pinballinfo.com/communi...old-playfield-for-wall-art.39352/#post-250288

The warm white LED strips point at the wall/surface, not directly though the inserts. It's set off from the wall about 5mm all round, so the light bleeds out.

Have 1 at end end of the games line-up. Been up 3yrs no faffing about. When i turn on the breaker for the games they also come on, along with the Run DMD clock.

cunning use of the mirror to make it seem like you have 2 playfields - 2x bonus points for ingenuity!
 
Without wanting to hi-jack the thread if someone has some used tired cheap playfields also for wall art, please drop me a PM. Ta! :)
