Quoted from Darscot:Wow that is some of the worst clown puke I have ever scene. I have one LED in the backbox of my JP, a single white in the sun. The JP translight hot spots like crazy. Do the pinstadiums reflect that badly off the ramp to the naked eye?
This isn't a "Pinstadium" kit, it's one I made to just light up the playfield and isn't connected to the GI and flashers. Any LED strips will show reflections off of the plastics or ramps underneath them. JP isn't too bad ,you do see some reflection off the left ramp return and on the plastic cover on the right side of the game. When playing you do not see any reflections on the playfield since the lights are facing directly down.
Another benefit of the side lighting is that it greatly reduces any glare on the glass from outside light sources and makes the glass appear almost invisible. Just a few minutes ago I printed new instruction cards and I thought the glass was off the game a rapped my knuckles on the glass.
Quoted from Darscot:It looks good, I don't have the plastic cover on mine on the right side. I tend to take that stuff off at home, I'm not very competitive with pinball so I prefer the clean look even if I get the odd ball stuck. I have the trough lit on mine and its not connect to the GI or Flashers, these DE are so flashy you need a little constant lighting to even them out. I think I'll have to give the home version a try, where did you get the angle brackets?
You can buy angle aluminum strips at Home Depot under the name Everbilt. Located in the aisle with chains, rope, nails, bolts.
Amazon also sells PVC angle strips.
Quoted from PinballTilt:Slightly off topic
Did you ever find a way to tie it in to the gi? I guess you could get the 6 volt led strip, but that stuff is more expensive. Certain games like junkyard and scared stiff have the lights go off as part of the game
I did buy a relay kit or something to tie the kits to the GI but haven't tried them yet.
Quoted from Rensh:You can buy for a few dollars a step up converter on eBay plus a bridge rectifier to convert the AC to DC befor the converter and power it direct from GI. On this way you convert 6,3 VAC to DC to 12 VDC. In that case no relay required.
That's what I bought, couldn't remember what exactly I bought. Have to solder the kit together and just haven't done it yet.

Listed my JP for sale for anyone wanting to join the club.
I swapped in a new set of stadium style lighting today. These are slightly dimmer and a warmer white and much better than the other two sets I tried. One set was way too bright for JP but looks super in Baywatch. The other set was a cold white and did not look good, but looks great in Slugfest.
