Buy a sample pack from each provider of bulbs and see what you like where. Some providers tell you what bulbs look better where too.

If you have friends that have LEDS in their games, that is a good way to see how things look before you buy too. Good luck.

Much better option. Since there are warm whites and retros, there is basically no reason to still use incandescent in any machine in my opinion. I have tried almost every brand/type bulb, and my favorites are:

2 SMD faceted bulbs (warm white). The best all purpose bulb IMO, especially good for GI.
Twin 2835 frosted bulbs (warm white) for backglass.
Twin 2835 frosted for color matching inserts.

I know that comet has all these, but if you are going cointaker, I am sure they have comparable bulbs. Just ask them. Very easy to deal with, and you will get quick responses.

Totally agree. that is why it is so hard to suggest for someone just starting to get LEDs. I seriously spent like $50 at each company getting a samples and went from there. I now have like at least 100 random LED bulbs that I keep around to try out in a new game to see what looks best in it, then go out and get enough do the whole game.

Also. Do not buy a single non-ghosting bulb until you have converted your whole game to LED. Then play your game and see what bulbs are ghosting, then replace those ones. It will save you a lot of money in the end.

yes. Ghosting is when they are kind of on when they are not supposed to be. Flickering when on is a characteristic of ghosting too. Non-ghosting bulbs I have found help any sort of weird behavior that a normal LED might have. I will let others comment as well, as my issues with ghosting have been few.
