    I say both. EATPM is a good example of why you need incadescent lamps to provide the warm glow on the GI. That games just doesn't look right 100% LED's. Inserts should always be LED's as far as I'm concerned.

    Quoted from viper001:

    But then I am naturally averse to having seizures for some strange reason...

    I think that particular gripe about LEDS is overdone. I've never really noticed any distracting flicker during game play on my pins.

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    Flicker or strobing is an issue with a person's eyes, and not a common problem with the majority of players.

    Then I stand corrected.

    Quoted from viper001:

    but I disagree that it makes the game more fun to play.

    I'm not sure anybody is claiming it makes a game more fun.

    Quoted from viper001:

    So why would somebody mod an amusement device in a way that makes it less fun to play?

    It's just a matter of personal taste when it comes to the aesthetics of a pin. If your game play is affected, then I guess (for you) it's less fun. As far as I'm concerned, the ball rolls the same with either kind of lighting.
