I've replaced a number of bulbs in the SM. In the upper right area by the bumpers and between the lanes, all the bulbs were out but one of the bumper flashers. I first replaced a couple of the incandescent flashers under the bumpers. Within a day one of them was out. I have since replaced these with LED flashers.

Last weekend I changed all the lights in the lane dividers. Two days later, one of them is out. Since its a constant-on light, I'll replace them all with LED.

It just seemed kinda strange that most lights are original equipment and continue to work while others are needing to be replaced much more often. Is there an issue I should be investigating from this?

Quoted from NimblePin:

Incandescent bulbs?
What are those thing-a-ma-bob-bers?!?

I'm working to replace the GI incandescent bulbs, but don't want to replace insert, backboard, etc lights with LEDs because of the ghosting. I swapped some on the backboard and they were all lighting up to some degree during the games - very distracting.
