I have a Twilight Zone. Classic Bally, not Stern, right? Anyway, I improved the lighting significantly and dimples appeared from out of nowhere.

My question is : Has anyone measured the impact more photons have on a playfield? I suppose additional lighting pounded the clearcoat and caused the problem since it is well known all WMS clearcoats were flawless back in the 1990s. I know we are told that photons do not have mass, but that's all PhD nonsense and more than likely a conspiracy since something obviously caused more dimples on my playfield when I swapped in LEDs and improved the lighting of the playfield significantly.

Maybe Stern is using those cheap LEDs that emit heavier-mass photons thus causing more pronounced dimpling ... especially on lighter color / less detailed regions of a playfield. Incandescent bulbs emit zero-mass photons, but they cause forest fires and only I can prevent forest fires.

Thank you.
