Bump for a cool product. It really reduces the glare during the game without turning the backglass all the way off. However, if you want it off that is also an option. Easy to install and very user friendly!

What other deals do you guys have for Black Friday? I'm very happy with your LED board on ACDC & Met Pro.

This is a great mod, I look forward to the sale.

Very clever idea.

Looks great and an even better price! Order placed!

Great idea and very original. I like it but the price gave me sticker shock to be honost, even at the 20% off price. Probably because if I bought it for one Stern machine I'd have to buy it for all four......LOL.
Good luck with it though and I'm sure you'll do well.

It's cheaper than buying PDI glass for all four ...

IMO the price for the LED back board kit which includes the dimmer circuit is very reasonable, especially with the Black Friday sale price.

Yea, I'm a DIY kinda guy and created my own LED backbox dimming circuit that works perfectly.

However, I'm not DIY'ing new sets for my new machines when I can buy the whole enchilada for $55!

It's hard to get a much more ringing endorsement than that.

This is such a great solution...similar to an idea I pitched to George Gomez awhile ago. Would be so easy for Stern to add a software setting for doing the same thing. In any event, good luck with the product!

Glad to see someone finally brought this idea out in the open with an actual working product. And you aren't eye-gouging on the price either. Bravo.

I like it

My idea/suggestion was to simply shut off the fluorescent light when I hit "start". From my perspective, the back box light is for "attract" mode. Once the game is started, I really have no use for any light that can make it harder to see the PF/ball.

In any event, for folks considering fancy $300 glass for solving the glare problem (which it doesn't, this is a smart product that I'd like to have on all my machines (not just Sterns).

In my case, I rely on the backbox lights to add to the ambient light in my pinball room. If every backbox light was completely shut off while games were in progress, the room would be too dark during parties. I also like looking at the artwork. To me, this is the ideal solution.

Looks good, but you'd have to get it for every machine you own, so that is kind of tough.

Installed mine today. It's totally rad and, for me, another must have mod for Sterns along with FF speakers and mirror blades. Definitely worth it.

A cheap and easy solution if you didn't mind not having dimming is to just use a time delay relay ($5+/-) that resets with your flipper switch or something else that triggers regularly during play. I think I'll try that this week for my WPT. Florescents give terrible glare.
