Quoted from GregCon:I don't agree....my games with incandescent bulbs look like they're dead when sitting next to machines with LED conversions. The LED games simply look more alive, and are far more appealing to 'old' eyes. As you age, your eyes need more light, not less. That is, until you become a 78 year old woman and need those wrap-around shades to complement your floral vest.
Plus, the lower heat and power draw of the LEDs does nothing but help the game itself.
I do agree that older cars look atrocious when people put LEDs in the headlights and taillights....but that's a different story.
My Xenon notably popped when I replaced the controlled lamps with led. The incandescent just looked dim in comparison. And these are single SMD from Comet, nothing crazy.
That said, it's all subjective. Your pin, your way!
