Quoted from Dayhuff:

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.

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

Quoted from Schwaggs:

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.

Quoted from snaroff:

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 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.
