Glad you like it. Do you mean the light hoods project too far out? I can shorten them.
Also .stl files for these lights are free for anyone who needs them.

Quoted from eckhart:Attaching a photo of the light installed. From a playing angle there is probably 1/3 of the light obscured by the hood. For pure visibility I would do a very small hood, maybe 1/8", or none at all. The fit and finish of the basic design is amazing ,however. I can't get over how well the tabs fit and the tight tolerances on the lens openings. If a new one is designed with a smaller hood or no hood I would like to receive the file. Thanks again to Langless28.

Just bend the bracket upwards to align it more with your eye level.

Quoted from MRudowsky:I'm considering getting one made. langless28, I hate to ask, but would you consider removing the 'extra bits' on the sides? I love the look of the front with the hoods(I'd prefer the slightly shorter hoods) and the detail around each light, but would rather the sides not have the 'bolts'. Or I can try modifying the .stl myself (always looking to try something new).
Also, what's the size of the jewels inserts to order from Pinball Life?
Thanks langless28 for the work you've put into it and thanks to eckhart for sharing what his looks like!
You use 5/8" inserts
I can remove those parts. I originally designed this to be remote mounted and used those standoffs to drill in small rods to mount to the backboard. Similarly to how a real traffic signal is mounted.
Just pm me and I'll get you a link.
Quoted from Bax1:I'd like to see how this looks with the rear mount the way Langless is saying it was intended for.
It was intended for that. I sold my high speed before I got to install it in my machine.
Quoted from desertT1:I have 2 High Speed machines. One light is hanging in there, the other is toast, but that doesn't matter until the Hardtop exists.
I don't want to come in here and turn into a "Me Monster", but I have an injection molding machine that would likely be able to make these. It's a reasonably recent purchase for me, but I have another hobby that I've been able to make some parts for. I'd like to look at making these if that was something people would want. There is a lot that goes into molding parts (time, cost, trial/error refining the process for that specific part) so I won't make any promises. However, if there is demand I'll give it a go. No estimates on cost or timing, but costs should be about what prints cost, but with a smoother surface finish.
I'd want the most appealing single design from langless28 and then I'd have to do my thing. Then if/when they go up for sale Mr. Lang would get some royalties for providing the model.
Thoughts?
I can send you whatever you would like.
