A few years ago I bought my first LEDs from comet pinball and it was a terrible ordeal. Lol too many choices and pain trying to figure out what exactly I need. My goal is to first and foremost do the TZ I am doing an extreme shop out on and hopefully have plenty of bulbs to hopefully do another game or so. My budget is around $250. I prefer the fresh look and brightness(not fond of the incandescent yellow glow) of LEDs without being blinded. I’ve read that 2smd frosted is the way to go on Backglass and gi? Do you color match the colors of playfield inserts? I am NOT looking to join the rainbow puke led club. Lol flashers, blinkers and other bulbs confuse me as to what I need. Do I need non ghosting in the inserts? I can go on and on. Just looking for a solid tasteful direction to go. Thanks in advance.

I think I’m going to use comet I e had good luck with them the o e time I ordered from them. I looked up there 250 bulk kit and it seems to have most everything I would need to get started?

Ryan. The kit is too much for me. I want to keep it cheaper and more simple. Bryan and afew others said to use the 2smd frosted for everything and that might be what I do. I want the brightness of LEDs but I want to keep things simple and fairly inexpensive. My goal is to get enough bulbs to do a few games or more. I’ve also heard people talk about how bright led flashers are and to be honest I did my funhouse in all comet and used a lot of color and it’s just too much. I used 4smd in the inserts color matched and puked it. I will eventually redo Funhouse because it’s VERY bright and the flashers are hard to handle.

I agree with everything you said. The nice thing is I can take what I am reading here and it is a huge help to get me to the decisions I want to make. I’m learning from this that I am in the more simple the better camp.
