Quoted from Vintage-Pinball:As title, yet again, more bulb failure with these bulbs!
I'm loath to fit LEDs on an EM but really, these bulbs are a waste of time and money. I tend to buy a 100 of 44 and 47s and I would say the failure rate is about 25%. So, are other brands of these old fashioned tungsten type bulbs on the market for a better and more reliable alternative?
Besides Eiko I think there is a unbranded Chinese type that come in white square boxes that hold 100pcs. They are honestly probably no better or worse than the Eiko ones but at least usually cheaper.
None of them seem to last as long as the old GE ones. Maybe get lucky and find some NOS ones of those somewhere.
