    Here’s our game with a white backboard light and a white trough light, everything else in the pic is stock lighting. We have these strips custom made and they put out a lot of light. You could add two more spotlights in the middle and that would give you plenty of light. If you can’t solder, I could wire up spotlights so you could easily connect to your game.

    Someone asked about triggering off insert lighting, you can’t do it unless you tap into the wiring, which I would not advise doing, or you can solder to a light board if that’s how the insert is lit. You can use a relay system if you want a mod to trigger off an insert, we do this for many of our mods.

    Quoted from CoolCatPinball:

    "It's embarrassing that I don't know the answer to this...but does the GI have it's own fuse on Spike games?"
    I dont know the answer to that either

    I don't think so, they are driven by node boards, which shut down if they sense a short or overload.
