Just finishing the restoration of my Bone Busters but i'm not satisfied with the leds i installed in the backbox since you can see them through the translite.Does anyone have any suggestion to what led bulbs i can use for the backbox ?
Quoted from ryanwanger:Oh ha, they're my bulbs! Those are not a great choice for the backbox, as they have a really focused spot at the tip (and the sides spread light in a way that wouldn't really be noticeable in the backbox anyway).
I'd recommend either of these:
http://www.cometpinball.com/product-p/2smd-ct-ft.htm (bright)
http://www.cometpinball.com/product-p/1smd5050.htm (somewhat less bright)
The latter would be less prone to hotspots. In either case, definitely frosted bulbs...this will diffuse the light better.
Thanks for the tip
