    As I've said in the last 500 threads aboot this it depends which game, and area.

    Quoted from Pinballgeek:

    I was thinking what game in my collection should have leds or not

    Dealing with the WPC titles, personally I think almost all machines look better with LEDs for inserts. Really you should just be putting a few in to replace bulbs and play it and see what you think. Had games look better, same, and you can never tell until you do it.

    Quoted from Honch:

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

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

    Quoted from RobKnapp:

    There are many light sockets that will need a flexible LED due to the horizontal position./

    I always say to use Cointaker Frosteds, which are cheaper and will work for 90 degree bulb placement.

    Quoted from Honch:

    Then I stand corrected.

    Well not really, I was agreeing with you I just mean that's why some people complain aboot strobing and others don't.

    LEDs like any tool can be good or bad. bright games don't usually bother me personally, but if every bulb is a superkickass9bulbhahaa bulb, yeah it's too much.
