A lot of places sell dimmable CFL and LED bulbs for home lighting. Not sure if this has been asked before, but has anyone come up with a dimmable LED bulb for a pinball machine, one that would work properly with WPC general illumination dimming circuitry?

That's a good question. I need some for my TOTAN also. Doesn't look so good with ones that just go on and off.

No I believe its not cost effective and or cant fit the circuitry in the small bulb good news is you can get a led ocd that will do everything you want and you can use the super cheap leds .
