I haven't seen any new games recently with this feature in person. Does the light stay on the entire time during the game?

If so, would it be better if it has a dimming feature where once the game starts, the light fades out? Then once the game ends, it fades back on?

LED illumination.

OSHA regulates workplace safety, not consumer product safety. That's the CPSC and FDA, as far as I'm aware.

OSHA regulations come into play during the manufacture of the product in the factory--to basically make sure the workplace is a safe environment for the labor force (ie, occupational safety). Product safety (and safety testing) for a product are completely different (that's where the product's LEDs and lasers would be tested for product safety for consumers). That's with the CPSC and FDA.

Once the product leaves the factory and out of the hands of workers, it's a manufactured product. At that point, that's where product safety enters the picture again (in case there are any harmful problems that are discovered with the product after release).

OSHA may come into play if workers are unboxing and assembling the game as part of work labor, but that's about it. OSHA wouldn't be concerned about LEDs or lasers or other parts in a finished manufactured product.

Huh? I'm really not sure what you're trying to argue here. I've noticed that you sometimes have a tendency to go off in odd tangents and confusing directions.

All I was trying to point out was OSHA doesn't regulate lighting in a pinball machine.

Just played Godzilla today. I didn't even notice the light while playing the game. IMHO, it's a non-issue.

When you take a close-up photo of it, sure, it doesn't look terrific by itself. But the game's artwork, apron, and playfield are so busy, it really didn't stand out that much to me.
