    Placed an order. Thanks Art!

    A couple items I was hoping to grab was a 25-pack #44/47 1smd sunglight without a lens and a few #44/47 1smd ice blue without a lens. Out of stock--oh well, maybe next time. I got everything else I was looking for

    Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

    Sorry. my friend,
    I havent chosen to stock those yet without a lens...Clear works 95% same.....

    Alright, maybe I'll grab a pack of the sunlight clear lens bulbs instead then. So far, I've found that the 1smd bulbs without a lens seem to look the best for most of the common round inserts. Clear lens bulbs seem to leave a ring/halo of light on the insert while a no-lens bulb doesn't.

    Quoted from bigd1979:

    Its actually pretty easy to pop the lens off

    Quoted from Pinterest:

    Hey Force - I will often buy clear and then just pull the clear cap off if I want no lens.

    Thanks guys, good to know.

    Quoted from jewboyflowerhead:

    Hey art, if you haven't gone to sleep yet....do any of your 44 bulbs fit in the gottlieb system 3 GI?

    In the few situations where the bulbs wouldn't fit through certain holes on Gottlieb playfields, I carefully sanded down the lip/PCB of the bulb just a hair.

    Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

    Indeed tough times here in the body...Thank you for the well wishes and PMs
    I am hoping I can reach as many people here as possible with some shipping information.
    We have been back at work since Monday, that is 3 days, with extra staff and hours, working till
    Midnight. We had requested in our ad, and in many places, a 1-3 week delivery period.
    I am pleased to say, I believe we can complete in 2 weeks, meaning by the end of next Thursday,
    We hope to have all Sale orders shipped....at least this is our goal.
    Sadly, and especially with my health, I am being overrun with emails, of all sorts that this delivery period is unacceptable.
    Certainly, we understand that every order and every customer is important and appreciated.
    However, we simply cant work any harder, or move your order ahead of another, or respond correctly to email threats
    of negative posting unless we ship faster.
    I honestly, and sincerely ask for your patience and understanding, that if we offer a sale, of epic prices, that you might respect
    this value and the volume of orders we have received.
    If for any reason, you simply cant wait, and wish to cancel, I do understand and feel bad that some LEDs would cause such stress
    as to email in this manner.
    Please hang in there...we are doing our best, and would like to continue to do so.
    Thank you.
    Art

    Wow, really? Some people have no patience whatsoever....

    Thanks for all you do Art. Take it easy, and try not to stress out about things too much.

    If anyone bugs you about shipping times, just show them this and explain that it's why things were delayed:

    Art, have you tried implementing an auto-responder for when you have a high volume of orders like this? And then in that auto-reponse, put a small FAQ in the email (or a link to one on your website) to try to preemptively answer some of the common questions?

    Quoted from Ven:

    This was done with a previous order from Comet, full LED except for the large #89's under the ramps and in the robot area as they were just too bright. Slow color changers in the pops, looks amazing in person.

    I ordered quite a few during the sale to do my Devil's Dare and Mousin Around. I haven't checked on the order to see if they shipped, they will get here when they get here :O)

    On my game, I used 2 SMD fluted bulbs under the slingshots and plastics on the sides.

    For the flashers under the ramps, I used flex head bulbs, and turned them away from the player.

    Since the bulbs are visible behind the drop targets, I think I used a frosted LED, rather than one of the brighter SMD bulbs--I can't quite remember without looking.

    For the feature lamps under the playfield behind the cardboard, I used colored dual flex head bulbs since they were long and rectangular.

    Everything else was pretty much 1 SMD bulbs.

    Now that the Art released the matrix product line, I was tempted to try and light the upper left area better. Baby Pacman's apron plastics also seem like a good place to use them as well.
