    I have been eyeing this mod for a little bit and am ready to proceed. After researching product I have more questions than answers. So here goes:

    1) I have colored posts (Orange) but am unsure what sort of richness/brightness variation there is with colored LEDs vs. white. Seen a few online pics but it is hard to see any difference with this color choice.

    2) Of course in my search I find the LED kits from GLM that I guess are no longer available. These appear to have had a 3 wire setup where not only would they light the post but could flash when triggered by a bumper or kicker. That looks amazing. I suppose I could settle for a GL to do the flashing if I had to. Any comparable products or solutions for this type of mod?

    3) My game is Judge Dredd and it has a full LED kit already but at what point do I need to think of an additional power supply? I was told that since it originally had lamps power is not an issue. But I have lots of lighting plans and maybe a separate power source helps hooking up various stuff? I don’t know.

    That’s all I can think of right now. Thanks in advance for any replies!

    Yeah I am probably going with Comets matrix kits. Are there any GI bulbs that Stay lit but I could wire to flash when a kicker is hit or do I need a dedicated bulb? That would give me all the effects I am looking for.

    Quoted from PinRob:

    Very pricey, but these are the best as they fit inside the star post. http://www.pinballdecals.com/LightedStarPostsPage.html
    Don’t over stress Judge Dredd’s power driver board.

    Can you steer me toward info on recognizing and dealing with this potential driver board stress?
