Quoted from swampfire:

While I was at TPF, I picked up a bag of 100 warm white 555 base LEDs from CT, $59 ....

Must be a Georgia thing ... I made the same purchase

Quoted from swampfire:

Call me Dr. Strangelight. I'm still using incandescent on the playfields (LEDs for inserts, though). JM is the only one with LED playfield GI.

Not strange at all, I did the same to EATPM and Space Station - incandescent GI (except I went green LED for that mode in SS) and LED inserts. I really like how the insert colors are more vivid now.
I tried LEDs in the SS backbox and yeah it got really washed out but it didn't occur to me to leave some blank, I'll give that a try tonight.

BTW - I was talking to Greg on Sunday, sorry to hear you were under the weather at TPF, I was hoping to meet face to face.
