Decided to buy a cheap LED string and hook it up to the back box flashers on my STTNG pinball machine. Total out of hand. Lights up the whole room. (Note the attraction mode)

I ordered a string of Green LED's to hook up to ROM War Bird back box flashers. Will be here soon. Connected it up in a temp fashion so if too much I can quickly disconnect.

Because of the cheap availability of these LED strings in multiple colors many combinations are possible.

Did you use just one or multiple? It seems like you may have 3 different zones hooked up, one to each "pod" in the Borg ship? Did you connect at the socket or elsewhere?

Connected a LED string that I got from Aliexpress.com. Has glued back so just pasted it on there. Connected the entire 5 meter string (in square pattern and yes it's overkill) to the flasher socket in the backbox. Ran the wire through the vent hole.

Right now it is only connected to center "pod" Borg flasher socket. I am getting used to it so I just dropped some wires into the socket which has v shaped wire catch (don't know the term here). It's not permanent in case I think it's too much.

The LED strings could also be used for GI underneath/inside the cabinet.
