Quoted from Nightstick:Yeah I want mine to do that. HOW??
Quit your job and devote your life to modding your pinballs and pin room. Simple enough!

Wow - finally a job that I would enjoy....
How did you do this?? I would love to have this effect on Metallica during the Sparky electrocution multiball!

Quoted from Minneapolispin:How do you wire it up with the machine to go off at certain times during the game?
I wired it in with one of the lightning bolt flashers on the playfield. There's a molex connector at the end of the LED strip on the wall behind the pin so I can move it if needed.
Quoted from LOTR_breath:That's cool and extreme. I think it would suit Sparky very well!
Yep, my Tallica LE is next but it won't be lightning. I'm going to do a big electricity spark gap"like in the pic below",& a coiled LED wire that looks like it's going to Sparky.

I always thought that a real Jacob's ladder would be an awesome mod for a MB, but probably just too dangerous.
Looks like I am going to have to add a disclaimer to my house insurance for epileptic seizures as well as a warning sign for entering my game room!
:applause:Mind blown! Fantastic, and very creative mod!! Might work nice on my bsd during the thunder clap at end of ball... Hmm... 
Quoted from Zdoor:I thought I get carried away sometimes
Impressive for sure, but with everybody asking questions and probably considering the ramafications from the spouse after building one, I get this nagging feeling. This idea has crept into my psychy and it is worming itself into the very nerve center region of my brain, and it keeps pulsing and repearting itself. If there was another lightning bolt on the right side to offset the first one and really fill the sky. Maybe a little smaller and facing towards the center, it would be oh so nice! Especially if these things are are cycling independent of one another. That would be the difference in going BIG or going home! :8
And I would love to see that for my TAF. Zdoor make one for me.

They could be made pretty easily. 2 separate flasher circuits could be used and it would be easy to install. Could do them similar to an undercab or backbox kit and make it plug and play from the power driver board.
That's nothing. I wired my entire house lighting to AC/DC. When the lightening bolt flashers is triggered every light in my house flickers. 
That is one freakin cool mod my friend. I think Thor on Avengers or Storm on Xmen would benefit from that mod. Bravo!

as a total newb 
can i please ask if anyone can provide a bit more detail on what this means? would you find a connector that controls the lightning bolts and put one of those splitters on it and add the led?
any particular wire/connector? any obvious mistakes someone with no idea what they are doing should try to avoid?
i guess also, any example of the right kind of LED strip to use (any specs to look for)??
thanks for any / all advice...
Quoted from SunKing:Still working on this? I'd love to see it.
EL wire,& LED strip on order. Will post as soon as it's done.
