^^At least with my camera it's hard to capture flash bulbs. Even dim flashers show up bright on camera. I recently replaced the translight flashers (#89s) on my System 11 EATPM with LEDs and it's a huge difference. WAY brighter flash. It also made all the flashers on the playfield (which are still incandescent) flash brighter due to more current being available to them. Im not quite sure if I like them though. They're very bright and instant-on, but the light is very harsh and directional. Sometimes that's exactly what you want in a flasher. There are some spots where I still want to put them, but I don't think I'll wholesale replace all of my flashers with LEDs. They're just to jarring for me. I'm not a big fan of LEDs in general though. It's worth picking some up to see how you like them. I think if you like LEDs on your playfield, then you'll love LED flashers. It's a big difference in brightness.
