Hi there,

Also looking for advise about lighting backglass with leds for a project.

Quoted from FatPanda:Same advice as above. Frosted tops, warm/natural white. For classics, I typically go with warm white. For anything "Modern" (DMD) I usually go with natural white, which does a good job of updating an older game. Comet 2SMD LEDs work great, and can be purchased in 100 packs.
Yes, it is for classics.
I saw there was 1 or 2 smd in frosted warm white.
You advise me 2 smd? It seems great and enough bright to highlight perfectly the artwork of a backglass.
I bought to you 2smd warm white frosted led for 80’s games.
I hope it will be fine.
I would have liked to see pic with 1smd and 2smd all frosted.

Hi there
Here is a early pic of my project. I have a second one to do.
Pic doesn’t do justice of the reality as it focus on the spot light while lights are more diffuse
I get an issue with Phoenix BG as I can’t see the lights in the dark paint areas.
Which kind of light do you advertise me?
Thanks

The difference is that Phoenix is more darker than others, specially Roller Disco and Freefall.
For example I have 2-3 lights in the lower left corner!
It is darkness of the screening.
I’m reluctant with strip as I wanted to keep the original lightning spirit and highlight the main artwork. But I also don’t want to forget some nice details.
Thanks for your advises.
Édit: i have just tested twin non frosted that I used on my Met and TWD, and there is absolutely no difference with the twin frosted. I need much more brightness!
