Greetings Everyone, and Happy Thanksgiving!

The emails have been flowing in, so I have decided to post our Ad for Black Friday Sales.

Prices will be active tomorrow at Midnight.

This is our first Sale, and humbly, it is with great thanks to all the Pinsiders, who have
made this year possible. I Speak from my heart, when I think of all the things to give thanks for.
My fellow pinheads at pinside, have given me so much...it has reinvigorated an old man in poor health
to forge on with a purpose. I cant say Thank you everyone load enough, for what this community
means to me. Truly my best wishes to all this Holiday season.

I wish to share also, as a way to give back, a percentage of sales will be donated to Pinside,
and my favorite charity, Project Pinball.

Dan has been a friend and Champion of an amazing thing. Pinball in Hospitals is incredible therapy
and helps kids, patients of all ages, connect, and escape as we do, to a place of joy...and in this case, needed most. Please check them out.

So heres the ad, and Ill post some of the info on how this will work, along with some additional surprises, and a neat special for Pinsiders!

Thank you for your support, sincerely.

Thanks Guys...I am happy to do this, and there is soooo much more coming down the pipeline in development.

Heres the scoop on how this works.
When the sale starts, all inventory stock limits are turned off.

Order away. Time is the only issue. Not how fast or when you order, although those will be filled first, but all sale items are on rain checks. They will take 6-9 weeks to restock.
You decide, by putting in the notes section, "No Back orders" or blank to say OK.
We will contact you as we fill your order about any backorders. You can even decide then if you want them. ...We will ship backorders, where possible for free. With this, no one really needs to hover at midnight, unless you are in a hurry. If you decide you dont want to wait, your funds will be refunded right away.
Everyone can buy what they think they may need at great savings through Monday at midnight.
I hope this works right. A little time is all thats needed to make everyone Happy.

Enjoy your Time with family.

Ill be posting a surprise in a bit...

They are the Kelvin rating between White and Warm....not too white, not too yellow.
It is my only choice now in GI, as I prefer a less "white sterile look"
Warm 3000-4000 K
Sunlight 4000-5000K
Natural or Cool 5000K- 6000K

Here are some pics:

They are also in Twin 2835, which is what CT launched in TWD, ST, etc...so 20% brighter then a 5050 retro.

We decided to have all premium choice bulbs the same price, even though they do cost me more,
I wanted people's decision to be based on the look they want, not the cost.
So in inserts, a 5050 vs a Twin 2835 is about 20% brighter when frosted, and you can color match yellow and orange for a Richer color.
No reason not to use either...although in some games, for some people, they may consider them too bright.
As with the progression from single resin led, 2 led, 1 smd,2 faceted,4 smd, twin 2835, and then Op-Max, these are
all brightness and throw progressions from 1x, the same as an incandescent, to Almost 4x times as bright.
The choice of brightness is individual based not only only the game, it's age, artwork, etc, but also whether you want to play with the lights off, a dimmer switch or always lights on. Some people are sensitive to LED lights.
IMO, EM should use Retro, or single diodes, up to a 2 LED, SS, should use a 2LED, up to a 5050, and DMD multi Layer, from a 2LED, to a Twin 2835, with darker areas using the next brightness or two.
Nothing wrong with mixing 2 to 5 types of Bulb in GI, if you are doing advanced lighting.
The new MMR, uses exactly this technique for superior lighting.
Most all kits use 1 bulb in almost every spot, a 5050, and their are many games that's perfect for.
Changing just a few in GI, can change the look dramatically.
So pick your brightness, and build from there.
Sorry about the lengthy answer, but I have a couple dozen emails with similar questions, so I thought I'd answer for all and point them here.
Of course, there are many other opinions...No right or wrong....We all see light differently...This is just my opinion.

There will be 2 specials selective, on 100 pack. Sorry, I cant do this across the board, it would be sold at a loss...Yes, EST.

Thanks Paul, and Everyone....I just finished...Whew, I think I got them all right.
Had some at $1225.00 wrong price.
If you notice any errors, please let me know...Ill be be up to 4.

Now for 2 more specials, and if you have ordered in the last 15 minutes, Ill adjust.

These are 100% Pre order! 6-8 weeks to get.
Warm White, and Natural White....1 SMD 5050 Supreme OR Twin 2835.....

100 Pack $.49 each!!!! Thats amazing in my book! Free shipping over $99, and Free Jewelry over $500
your choice of $100 retail from my Line!
