Quoted from Green-Machine:I put comet star post lights on slings and trough light. That is all I needed to get enough light in the middle.
I'm also very interested to see a picture of your playfield with those star post lights. That's a good idea. I noticed on the slings, there's really only one normal star post closest to the flippers, the other two posts are smaller diameter cylinders. Did you use any lighting at those as well?
I did initially put some spotlights at the slings, but for whatever reason, I'd just didn't care for the look, and I really didn't feel as though they were adding that much for what they were. So I ended up taking them down. I've had Pinstadiums on previous JP's I've owned, and they've looked quite nice. When I used those kinds of stadium lightings, I always bring them down to a very low percentage, cuz I still like the little shadows here and there and also don't like to have my eyes burned out, haha. I will say that there is some very rich colors in the playfield that in dark rooms that I'm sure most of us play in, it is harder to appreciate. I suppose that is one nice benefit to the stadium lighting, although I think on this game, this time around, I would like to not use them and go for alternative means.... So I am interested in seeing a picture of that playfield, if you don't mind
