Great post. I smell a Troll!

I just finished putting leds in my LW3 & really like the way it turned out. The leds do not affect the game play & don't give me a headache....

Where is BR when we need him, defender of the LED.

I tried LEDs in an EM machine i had, looked like crap in the GI.

I went with frosted CT cool whites in my GI for DE SW and Cyclone; and they look great. Even non-LED guys like the way it looks. From what I can tell it depends on the game and layout. This being said, I have seen great games ruined by people putting bare LED super brights in the GI. You catch glare, and it becomes overwhelming... Go Frosted in the GI!

Games like Avatar and Tron look good with them. Games like SM, RBION, IJ, LOTR, etc. don't. It all depends on the title and how the lighting is placed on the playfield.

Like this one?

How? Most of the time the GI is what can't be seen because it is behind plastics or ramps. The mega bright inserts can be brutal if it is a white insert.

Add spotlights, helps see balls in the darkness and when other LEDs are on

Sorry for double post, but yeah totally!

Are people basing their anti-LED opinion after seeing someone who puts a flat top super bright in their GI or somewhere visible? If so, that's no bueno. No one has ever commented my games are blinding or a light is too "in their face". Perhaps negative opinions of LEDs are after seeing a bad LED job?

retro leds in hard to reach GI is fine. Who whant tho tear ts apart to change a bulb in the sanctum... I like bright leds in inserts as they make them pop up more and make the overall lighting better in my dark gameroom. Everywhere else I put incadecents. I agree that super brights under the slings plastics and return lane looks stupid.

Good move as this game is very dark in the middle of the pf.

Where is BR?

As others have said, it depends on the game. Put some in my GnR and HS in the GI, and really like it. Tried my Wh2O, and it looked terrible. The colors on the PF looked super washed out, and the flicker effect that happens during the MB was gone.

I will try them in my DW, and they will go into the ES (Saw the one at PPE with LEDs and liked it), but will not put them in the FH (again, due to the flicker effect), and may use them in the backglass of my bowler, depending on if there is any damage to the BG.

I did try them in my grandma's Midway shooting gallery and they looked terrible, same with her pitch n bat. (Even though I may put them into the BG, simply because of the paint starting to flake.)

I think BR got put into 'time out' for a week. I am not sure what happened but something must have gone too far?

I can't stand LEDs in GI either, until I played an ACDC Premium.... Holy cow that game looked amazing....
