Going to do a full shop and teardown of my new Funhouse pin and an looking for suggestions for led setups for this game. Anyone have any pictures of a fully done up game? I am a retard when it comes to leds. What I do like is color matching and eye catching lighting schemes. I have found that I like my leds bright, but not so brite I am blinded. I have a Congo that already had pinball life 3 leds in it and it just pops in my opinion, but then put a full cointaker kit into my BSD and was just not impressed with it and have decided kits are not for me. I also do not care for the spotlight effect on plastics. If anyone has comments or suggestions I would be grateful.

My suggestion you retard, other than maybe not using words that are being phased out, is use them in inserts and not GI.

The best LED for GI in my opinion is the 2 SMD with the faceted lens.

Comet pinball has the best prices and great customer service on those bulbs. They come in either premium non ghosting or regular:

I usually mix some color LEDs to match the plastic with either cool or warm whites next to them. This helps enhance the color of the plastic without making it over the top saturated with one color.

The best LEDs for inserts for me personally (I am very sensitive to the strobe effect) are the NoFlix Plus from Germany, but now Comet has those available here in the states at a better price. Even at Comet's great pricing, these LEDs are not cheap, but the best of anything rarely is. These LEDs have very little strobing, the brightness is perfect (not to bright not too dim) and great saturation of colors:

Quoted from TheLaw:

I guess I set myself up for that.

Rob, I probably should have stated that the strobing does not affect my eyes so I dont particalarly need no-flix, but I get the general idea of what you are talking about. Some games I see are just way to dark, I like how you described the enhancing of the plastics, this is the affect I am looking for. I hate that some led's cause a spotlight effect in plastics. Just want something that diffuses the light throughout without being overpowering. It sounds like Comet Pinball has the most bang for the buck? I was checking out Nifty led at Zapcon last weekend and thought their stuff looked pretty good.
