Austin, TX
Quoted from grimholtz:Cyclone in a darkened room is not very bright -- it could really use some light mods. Any advice?
I found the Evo Britecaps from Pinball Life (https://www.pinballlife.com/britecaps-evo-pop-bumper-lighting.html) help light the upper playfield quite a bit. You can use them on the upper two pop bumpers. The ramps interfere with using them on the third one. Also, as has already been suggested the tower LEDs and LED strips from Comet Pinball help a lot too. I was always disappointed how the monorail looked so made my own LED strip to put under it. I used Comet Pinball 555 warm white LEDs. I picked them apart and then used wirewrap wire to connect them together. I used double sticky tape to hold the leds in place. It is farily easy to snake the wires up to the top of the righthand side of the playfield and then down underneath the playfield using the ramp switch access hole. Then attached them to the GI buss. I agree with you if you just used 555 bulbs on Cyclone it is very dim. If ordering the tower LEDS you would want the bayonet base. Joe
