Alright, you would be my hero here if you could pull this off, (and it's really simple). I want flex flashers so I can direct the light where I want it under inserts. I know I can't be alone on this. The lack of these is one of the reasons I usually leave incandescants in the flash sockets. Do this at a decent price point and you'll sell a shit ton.

Wasn't someone going to get pictures of the warm whites?

Oh, here it is...

Looks great!!

I know this is kind of off-topic but if you're digging the warm whites I would highly recommend Cree's 40W/60W warm white LED bulb for standard lamp sockets...

Cyan, cyan, cyan!!

NOTE: Saw your previous post on working on other bulb styles. Cyan makes more sense to me than Shooter Rods and other items that may be consuming time, but that's just me because I need them for Johnny Mnemonic.

Yah, but flex bulbs in basic colors are way more important than Cyan .

Just use Blue. It looks way better anyways. (At least on my JM)

Cool! Liked!

Any update on premiums or flex? Been holding off on ordering as I want to try them out with you all but my pins are getting dimmer and dimmer!

I know it is a ways off, but do you plan on attending Expo this fall?

I led'd AC/DC tonight and it looks KILLER!!! All the bulbs worked and there was only a few I had to bend the wires on. No biggie!!! I used the clear dome bulbs everywhere except under the ramp on the right side. In those two spots I used frosted caps.
I have a few inserts that are ghosting so i'm looking forward to the nonghosting bulbs next week. Thanks Pinballbulbs!

Those warm whites are awesome aren't they? There is no question in my mind about color consistency with those anymore. I can't even tell they are LEDs!

Yep the warm whites are bang on. I had a guy over the other night that HATES LEDS. Played a few games on my Frontier and I said what do you think of the LEDS? He couldn't believe it and is now going to convert some of his games.

Thanks! I think the camera makes it brighter than what it really is, but you don't have any problems seeing the ball. I play with the lights out so the more light the better. I'll get some non ghosting on the way as soon as they are available.

Warm white is great. It provides a brighter light than incandescents without borking up the colors and gives all the benefits of LED lighting.

Some games just dont look good in cold light (and most look horrible to my eyes in rainbow colors) but warm white does the job perfectly. I am working on my funhouse and cant wait to deck it out in WW.

Some games certainly look great in cool white GI though (Tron and Iron Man for example)

Just ordered LEDS from them for my Freddy Fast shipping everything works great. I WILL BE ORDERING AGAIN!!!

Will u do a sample pack of non-ghosting?

Are you going to have clear dome non ghosting?

I'm sure he'll have non ghosting in all types.

Exactly, no need for the clear, frosteds are the bomb and since top is easily removed, it works perfect when needed.

Totally understand. I forgot all about popping the cap off!

Just sell one bulb then: removable frosteds.

If we were to get, say, 200 LEDs does the same discount rate apply if we buy more than 100?

I actually agree with this except for GI the clear cap is useful. Since non ghosting is not needed for GI it seems a waste to stock clear cap non ghosting. For inserts, I would stock only one bulb in my personal led bin. The removable cap frosted.

Clear dome is where its at for gi IMO! Just ordered a batch of non ghosting for my AC/DC inserts. I'll report back when they are installed.

The colors are still the same right? Even the warm whites? By the way here's a decent photo of the variation in the early batch... proper warm white on left, cooler (more CoinTaker like) warm white on right. Also notice how the one below it is a pinkish color.

Why would the description of the No ghosting bulbs say: " Great for replacing GI lighting and for softer insert lighting that is not overly direct"?? GI lights don't ghost.

GI lights "strobe" because they generally run off of AC power and therefore go on and off quickly creating a strobe light effect and making the ball hard to follow.

Insert (controlled lights) "flicker" because they run on a lamp matrix that switches quickly and provides really ratty power to the bulb. LEDs are fast enough to react to every little glitch in the power, but regular bulbs are not fast enough so it is filtered out. That is why LEDs in inserts flicker unless you have an LED OCD board. This is also what gives people a headache.

Insert lights also can "Ghost". Ghosting is caused by timing problems in the lamp matrix software. It causes the lamp to come on slightly when it is not supposed to be on. Normal bulbs are not fast enough to react to the tiny voltage glitches, so they don't ghost.

New games like the Stern LEs and Premiums have circuitry that is made for LEDs, so they don't flicker, strobe or ghost...

That's the camera picking up the strobing. Kind of a neat effect.

Yeah, if you have an older game, most certainly get the non-ghosting. I bought some of the cheaper ones and most of them do ghost when using on inserts on the lamp matrix.

I got the non ghosting bulbs installed in AC/DC and they look killer! Totally cleared up all the ghosting I had with the regular bulbs. Can't beat the price either! I made a video but my Internet is down at the house. Ill post it when I get it uploaded.

Just wanted to add to this thread.

I ordered pinball bulb's non-ghosting frosted for all of the inserts in my F-14. Delivery was super quick. Bulbs all work 100%... look great. No issues with frosted caps coming off during installation.

I'd definitely order from these guys again.

Just placed my order! Looking forward to checking these out

I have used over 1000 of these bulbs with only two defective. That's quality!

Exactly, on my HS 4 or 5 of the flashers are sideways to the inserts. The 2 "banana" shaped blue inserts are lit with 4 flashers each, 2 of which are sideways to the insert. These 4 bulbs allow the insert to be filled with light very evenly to avoid hot spots. So maybe a frosted flasher might do the trick for avoiding the "hot spot" effect. Is there someway of spreading the light in a 180 or 270 degree pattern for the flashers? What do ya think PinballBulbs?

Just starting to install LEDs in my Fish Tales and have ordered from a few different vendors. Have to say that Pinball Bulbs has had some great customer service! Had some questions regarding some last minute changes to my order and they are taking care of me.

I have the regular frosted in the inserts on my FB Classic with no ghosting that I can see and only 2 of the inserts have a small flashing problem. They are blue if that means anything.

Curious, can you send a picture of this?

Few questions regarding this:
1) Have you now run out of old and only have thinner across the board?

2) I assume this changed the frosted dome from a textured fully opaque to a non-textured thinner semi-opaque (you can now see the hot mini SMD dots on some if you look close) -- I ask as that is what happened with CT's a few months ago

3) Are your sample packs now including all thinner samples?

4) If I've already ordered a sample pack a while ago with the old style, can I order a new sample pack containing new styles so I can do some comparisons (as with CT there were +/- on thick/thin styles in some spots for me) ---- or are sample packs limited 1 per person?

Thanks!
