I am trying to scramble and get a list together on which type and color of LED’s to order for my Fireball 2 & Eight Ball Deluxe 1981. The sale ends tonight at midnight Eastern time ..for the Comet LED sale.

In the past I have ordered kits before but have read from others that it’s better to buy a variety & go from there.

So. Do you just look in the manual and see which type of bulb I need & count how many G.I. etc....make a notes of what colored inserts are there?

Thanks for any help and tips.

roterdave... & everyone. Where do you buy your bins from to hold your LED’s?

My big order from Comet should be here tomorrow.

So.. What is the difference between a LED and the SMD?

Quoted from FatPanda:

SMD is Surface Mount Diode that is an LED, a much better technology than just plain LED, Light Emitting Diode.

Thanks

Thanks to rotordave, TheLaw... others & Ryan’s suggestions from Comet. I think I have a good assortment. Thanks guys!!

My wife picked up a couple of cases on sale from Michael’s. It’s a craft store here. 1 case is all Comet SMD with a 2 Bally LED adapters.

The other case ‘s for random leftover LED’s/parts from Cointaker, Nifty & older Comet.

Ok.. this may be a dumb question..

I’m replacing the old bulbs with Comet 555 warm white smd’s in my Fireball ll. I’ve been noticing about 99% of the old bulbs are 555’s but a couple have been 159 TS.

Will a 555 smd be ok to go where the 159 TS was? Thanks.

Does anyone know if the LED/SMD kits ordered from Comet have color matching on for the inserts or are they all white?

Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:

the time it took to post this you could of emailed comet and asked!

I actually did... they don't usually answer unless during business hours.

Quoted from TheLaw:

Color matched and/or whatever ideas they come up with.

Ok.. great to know. Thanks
