I don't get everyone's chronic bad eyesight that makes them not able to see their games without adding more lights, but this is actually a non-annoying way to add some light. Much better than the alternative that's being compulsively marketed.
Quoted from BrewNinja:Some of us like to play in the dark (or dimly lit room). Its much harder to see the ball (some games more than others).
In a dimly lit room, less light is needed to achieve contrast to see. Adding excessive light just on the PF in a black hole of a room just add eyestrain. Thats why high end home theater installations have bias lights behind the screen.
Quoted from Whysnow:This is not some crap that floods the pf. It is just like a regular bulb but allows implementation in the perfect spots where you want to remove shadows and increase visibility.
I am really looking forward to trying these out once available. Small ammounts of light cast in just the right spots is all that is ever needed on even the dimmest game, like TAF. Bonus that it is color temp selectable, does not wash out al, the art, and appears as easy to install as a regular spot light.
I love when someone addresses an actual problem at the right level rather than saying something is too dark and just flooding the crap out of it.
Hilton, read my first comment, I said this was actually a non-annoying way to add more light, unlike other options. The comment you responded to was about dark rooms, not the product.
Quoted from BrewNinja:So adding more light to a dark area of the playfield (like bias lighting) makes things worse? Huh? The problem is that its usually really bright around the slings, then pretty dark in the middle of the playfield. These light up that area so there is less dark to light transition, similar to bias lighting. It doesnt make it even brighter than the areas around it.
no, you are missing the point of bias lighting.
