Quoted from Nemesis:Potential customers will want to see how these things look lit on the website. I know many times the camera does a poor job of displaying the true color but something is better than nothing!
Actually i disagree. I can imagine customers buying bulbs based on what they look like in a photo and then complaining they dont match! We are a fickle people... just asking for problems.. 
Quoted from NM:Bump?
I saw the cyans on a guys white water here locally and they are badass looking. not sure where he got them from, but a great color. I think he said from europe?
I think customer testimonials would be better than pictures for LED's. I've always waited to hear what people say about a particular brand/usage and then ordered. Used this process each time when it comes to LED's, and I've never been disappointed or shocked by what I see.
Quoted from NM:Bump?
Sorry I missed that. They will be right after non-ghosting bulbs. All the benders will be non-ghosting since they go under the PF primarily.
Looking to get all the products I want added and then I will work on some really cool colors.

I'm going to disagree. Since the lights do not photo well, something is worse than nothing. You'd get people either complaining that the bulb doesn't match the picture or seeing the picture and not realizing the benefits. When led machines can be properly photographed, that'll be great.

Just saw this one too. I am on the same page with this. Like others have commented, the pictures just don't do them justice good or bad. They will definitely be different from how they look in person. The best way really is to come see us at the NW show or even easier, order a small chunk from the site. The shipping is really cheap for small orders so it's not too bad to do.

I most def agree with this!!!

I guess i am on Markmon's ignore list? lol
Looking back on the incandescent looking warm whites, even if it was feasible to mass test and separate these from the pure bluish/pinkish warm whites, would that really be fair for people who notice the difference vs. people who don't? Or would it be more along the lines of to each his own, if you notice a difference just request them to be sorted?
If you're buying alot over time, just make a deal to swap out the ones that are the wrong color. By you returning bulbs of all one color, it actually helps PBB sell them again with 100% accuracy. So maybe you can negotiate and actually get a discount or free shipping out of it.

Sorry. I read and respond in order

How much of a variance is there?
Quoted from markmon:How much of a variance is there?
Quite a bit, some look just like incandescents and others look almost like cool whites.
I have over 100 of the WW in the 44/47 style with no variance yet but will report any changes.
Quoted from StrykersArcade:I have over 100 of the WW in the 44/47 style with no variance yet but will report any changes.
Do they look like original bulbs or more like a pure white?
http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/found-a-great-warm-white-led-pinballbulbscom - here are pics Strykers posted a while back comparing the color
Just put some of the bulbs I ordered and wanted to give first impressions.
1) Fast cheap shipping!
2) The frosted warm white bulbs in both the 555 and 44/47 varieties are awesome. I will post pics when the playfield is reassembled but the color and light dispersion is the best yet in any LED bulb I have used. I have used BCS, PBL, CT and NO-Flix.
3) The 555's install better than any other bulb on the market. I did not have to fool with a single lead, which is common practice in PBL and CT bulbs.
So far I am really impressed.

Bally Speakeasy with 555 Warm Whites. It looks great!

Then there may not be a need to separate at all. Looks like we've gotten some consistency with these which is great! Anything you can tell James?

So, as many know we get them in 100 packs. I wonder if at times the 100 packs can have slight variance. Meaning, if we get 1000 bulbs then we get 10 packs. Maybe the last pack is after they had to change out the run? Although, we got quite a bit more than 1000 warm whites and so far I haven't found any significant or noticeable variance. What I have been doing is testing 1-2 bulbs for every warm white order to see if I can find differences.
I ordered the $25 sample pack last week and it arrived very quickly. Good stuff! I only tested out a couple of the bulbs, but I was impressed with what I saw.
When I finish a few more "core" aspects of my TZ (clock, flippers, targets, etc.), then I'll play around with these bulbs a bit more. I'm looking forward it it...

Let's see some pictures... Thanks everyone...
Can't wait to order from you again, very professionally packed samples! You are doing the hobby a great service! Now if only we can find the money... as soon as we do we'll have some big orders for you.
I just put in an order last Monday and received them today, packed well and all there. Going to start putting them in tonight and see how they look.
I just put their warm 555 in the fathom , and wow the thins looks amazing , it don't play yet , so I'm still worried about strobing , here there is one patch of LEDs in the back glass the others are in condescends ...
I was very happy with the purples I put in FT , I did have 4 out out 105 not work , 2 greens 2 reds and a yellow ,
I also did not have to fiddled with the LEDs led's
Yes there is no strobe at all. You can't tell there are LED's in the game unless you look under the plastics.
This is highly dependent on not only the lamp driver involved and the condition of the lamp driver itself. There is a reason replacement "no strobe" boards exist.
I got strobing off of PB's frosted bulbs on my Dragonfist. This was expected and is not a knock on their bulbs. Some games are just going to strobe with the CPU controlled lamps unless you use no flicker style LEDs.

Are you talking about strobing or ghosting? Controlled lamps will always have a strobing issue unless you get Herg's LED OCD board.
Quoted from jalpert:When are you going to get your flex bulbs?
Never! Kidding, of course. Non-ghosting will be here in a week or so. After that comes the Flex so I am guessing they will follow the non-ghosting by about 2 weeks or so. The flex will be in non-ghosting only to start as well since they are used under inserts primarily only.
Quoted from MnHotRod:Just placed my third order (#299) from PinballBulbs. Thanks James!
Quoted from StrykersArcade:Just ordered 1500 myself!
Thanks for your support guys! Hope your BBQ goes well, Steve!
The ghosting is so subtle it looks like maybe other light reflecting inside the cabinet is doing it, you really have to look hard.
Quoted from SKILL_SHOT:The ghosting is so subtle it looks like maybe other light reflecting inside the cabinet is doing it, you really have to look hard.
What game is it in?
Are non ghosting necessary for GI in modern Sterns?
Quoted from Pafasa:What game is it in?
GRAND LIZARD and its only the inserts.
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:Any chance of getting Cyan?
Probably not for a little while. Working to add the other bulb styles first and then can expand on colors
