    Quoted from wayout440:

    Can't stand them, way too bright. I think it detracts from the original lighting in games.

    I have to agree. There’s a certain atmosphere or mood that the lighting in a game is meant to achieve. This mod seems to completely wash all of that out. I’ve seen it on TWD for instance and absolutely hate it. The game is meant to be dark. You’re killing zombies afterall. In most cases with older games I just prefer adding a spotlight or two to brighten up some exessively dark areas of a playfield. Pinstadium is just overkill IMO.

    Quoted from pezpunk:

    the lights hook into the GI and cooperate with whatever ambiance or light show the original designer intended.

    The fact that it cooperates with the GI in the game is very cool and I’m sure in certain instances during gameplay it adds some great effects but overall I just find that it floods the playfield with excessive lighting and actually kills the designers intended ambiance.

    Also, it’s great that you cannot directly see the pinstadium lighting on the particular game you are playing but when you are a couple of games away from one, that has to get a bit annoying.

    Not to bash on it too much, I mean there’s a lot of aspects of this mod that are very innovative and unique but It’s just not for everyone I guess. At least there are more lighting options available now. Glad to see a lot of people are excited about this.

    Quoted from ASOA:

    What was the Designers thinking when it comes to WOZ or the New Aliens "ambiance" ? We're they thinking you could play pinball with one of those flashlight headbands. Perhaps its not for every game unless you have pinball line up OCD like I do. It is a must for certain games and depending on your tastes it is a very good compliment on all others. Choose your color and brightness carefully through the custom app and you will be in great shape. If you are an operator in a dark gameroom or Resturaunt / Bar you are missing out if you do not have these on your games. Missing out on all that extra money they earn because people can see them more and it draws more attention to the game! I was skeptical in the beginning as well. Had to take a leap of faith before buying. All I can say is there is no looking back and zero regrets. I might add the build quality on these units are absolutely amazing. There is nothing cheap about the product whatsoever. These things are built to last and feel solid to the touch. The company has impeccable customer service. If you send an email they respond within seconds very attentive to their customers. This speaks a lot about a company.

    I get it, I really do get it. I totally understand what it does...100%. Like I said, it's not for everyone. I'm not a fan but I'm glad that you are. Enjoy!

    Quoted from chuckwurt:

    Well I don’t look at those threads. Sorry. Again. Put him on ignore. Takes two clicks. Pointless to bitch about it imo. Or maybe send a polite PM asking him to ton it down? That wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world either.

    There’s a problem with this solution however. Even if you block him you still have to sift through post after post responding to his spam. Eliminating pinstadium posts does not eliminate the entire problem.

    He should keep everything contained in one thread so people that are tired of constantly trying to locate their balls on their drab and dreary Dialed In playfield know where to look to correct it.

    Great news guys. Apparently Jersey Jack has been paying close attention to all of the criticism regarding the inexcusable lack of lighting in all of their games. They are now including one of these puppies with all game purchases going forward. They basically took the pinstadium idea to the next level here folks. It’s compatible with all of their games and only needs a software update to work on most new Sterns. The beauty is that you only need one.....and no, you do not need to remove the mod when lifting the playfield like some inferior products out there. It’s great for pins and most dark moments in your life.

    Just take a look at this guys face. Like he’s just seeing his balls for the very first time.

    This is next level stuff guys. Thoughts?

    Oh, and please look for this same bloody post in every single owners/club thread in the coming days.

    Eh, I'm just going right to stadium lighting.

    I imagine Dialed In will look something like this then?.....Perfect!
