Incandescents work best in my EMs. And they cost less.

Quoted from jar155:When you have 15 or so machines on, LEDs make a huge difference in power draw.
So with my 30 machines with incandescents, I can expect my electric bill to be substantially
less than the $20-$25 a month I now pay if I go LED?
Heck, if that's the case I may have to consider re-lighting my house too. As those are all incandescents as well.
Quoted from jar155:Most people pay much more for their power bill than you do.
And they blame it on their pinball machines. lol.
Quoted from jar155:You should go LED lighting in your house too, yes. Everybody should strive to save power.
That reverse psychology won't work on me.
Just like I don't need to pay a gardener or maid to do work I can do to save money, I don't need to spend 5x as much for a light bulb to see negligible savings on my power bill. Just like I don't need special food to stay trim.
And I just so happen to like my house lighting the way it is, thank you very much!
Quoted from SirScott:I think I threw up in my mouth a little bit.
You don't like thunder thighs underwater man in full living color?
#47 incandescent bulbs run much cooler than the 44s that came in the machine and are about the same temp as some LEDs so heat is not a valid reason that you have to sacrifice quality lighting and put LEDs in there.
Quoted from oldskool1969:To the people who don't like them, YOU ARE JUST TOO OLD!
The benefits to the longevity of the machine out weigh the purist arguments/thoughts any day.
Ha! Many of my machines are well older than me. Longevity. lol. Without people like me, some of these would never get played again.
And it's not being a stubborn purist, as I will try anything, but if it looks like ASS, it has to go! Same with what others might consider popular machines that have passed thru here. If it looks like ASS, it has to go!
Everybody can do what they like with their own machines, and in this case it's easily reversible.
Nothing wrong with getting an EM loaded with $200 worth of LED bulbs, when it costs less than $10 to make it right again. 
Quoted from Lermods:Cost me about $30 to do my atlantis. Took maybe 50 2835 bulbs. Two 25 packs for $16 each.
Good for you! I recently acquired an older woodrail with about 100 high end LEDs in the backbox alone. Now I have a big bag of them.
Quoted from Haymaker:I'm not a huge EM guy
I am average size myself. I stay that way by eating two meals a day and staying away from late night snacks whenever possible.
Quoted from NimblePin:ol' JD still had a decent amount of calories.
Easier to burn off than Tequila, don't you think?
