Somehow, there became a demand to play in the dark, and turn your pinball lights in its entirety bright white.
It never registered with me, and I just attribute it to my old eyes. Im completely happy lighting my Pinball room,
to the brightness that allows me to play, and see the room. ie, turn on the light switch.
But I do, and did recognize that some games can benefit with some help. So some games get 6.3v Matrix strips,
with Brightness adjusted, frosted, in up to 20" lengths. I made this for that purpose.
20" across the back, or apron/front bar. several down the side, if it needed it, and I didnt think many did, all tied to
GI, through Plug and play bulb tap. Many different lights, Spots, circles and pads to tap into 6 volt or 12 volt.
For only my TZ, I used side angle strips, that are very thin, and black, and stuck to the bottom of my glass.
Not super bright, but bright enough for always on, or tapped into GI/Flasher/Optical sensor etc.
But I do respect that Pinstadium made an outstanding business, with lots of features and options.
If you like them, buy them.
or make your own, or control your lighting in a different way. If the only issue is cost, many of the solutions address
this. If the point was for someone to knock him off to save you some money, it happens, but maybe it shouldnt?
