Looking forward to taking my Deadpool to Pinfest Newcastle this year and hoping that this mod gets here in time to go with it. Should be OK, have a month.

Looks great on Shrek!
Quoted from jonnyqtrek:If ever develop perhaps a blue set or the like for Stern Star Trek, I'd be interested, cheers!
Sure, yes, I can make a kit for Stern Star Trek.
Very nice job. It would be nice if you did not see the separation of the LED lights inside, maybe a defuser or closer spaced lights... I think you are priced appropriately , a set of flipper button lights goes for $30 or so, and these are much more visible, and obviously a more complex mod to make. Great job !

What you’re seeing is the variation of the flipper mold. You can’t see the led’s individually. Red and Blue are hard to photograph. For some reason my phone camera makes “dead” spots.

Yeah, I think they are a good mod as you get to interact with them virtually all the time. The cameras can have difficulty representing the flippers with brightness and contrast accurately as to how things appear in person, though there are a couple diffusion layers and some flippers are also made in a different style depending on the game etc and I have a couple of different lighting methods. You can look at the White Water example and the Ghost Busters pink above which are made in a bit different way and give the appearance of perhaps a more solid continuous light as far as the camera photos are concerned.
More Lit Kit flipper kits for additional pinball games will be added to the website shortly. If there is a certain game you would like a kit for, please send me a message, thanks
Quoted from eyeamred2u:Still waiting patiently on my kit I ordered for my Ghostbusters on October 5th.

Hi Ken,
Just sent out many kits today, and have yours in process. The site shows a two to three week upon order, though it has begun to speed up recently. I'll send you tracking once it is out - thanks
Added over 2 years ago:EDIT: has been sent out yesterday

No worries on my end.

Very nice flipper design.
Winter has arrived…
For both Diner and GOT, I like the how the lighted flippers also coordinate with the backglass colors and make them standout.
I wanted to make a post other than pics of my installs. I originally bought a set of these for my DE Jurassic Park. Once I got those I fell in love. So, I purchased sets for over half of my games….now that some of these have been in for over a month, I wanted to give some Kudos.
1). Half of these are in my free play arcade. On and being played 6-8hrs a day 6 days a week. NOT 1 single failure after a month.
2). My customers keep telling me they love the look, and it makes playing better because they can see.
3). The installs are very easy, and I have found some flippers that were about to have to be rebuilt so this forces you to check them out.
4). Arcademade’s customer service has been outstanding from day 1.

Good to hear!
AMH checking in. Was going to go with blue rubbers, but have a set of titan glow…I think they look pretty darn sweet!
Oh, the frosted flipper tops look incredible and even the light nicely.

That looks freaking awesome!
Just checking : are the colors controllable, or are they fixed?
I have a few sets from the original maker of these mod type in Germany, and they are controllable, so I can change the color as I see fit, depending on the theme of the machine

The majority of the lighted flippers I’ve made are initially designed with a specific color in mind to keep things easy for the user and have a kit be themed for a specific pinball game. A major aim was also to keep costs lower so they can be enjoyed and installed on more machines. I wasn’t aware of flippers that had lights previously before I had designed these, though my design uses a different approach and wiring system in order to be durable and also lend compatibility with many pins. To my understanding, these also perhaps cost roughly 40-50% less so I am happy for that.
So far it has been a pleasant journey, and looking forward to making kits for most of the top 100 pinside pins and beyond. It’s all for fun.
Quoted from Bmanpin:Installed on my GBLE tonight. Top notch and look great.

Hey, that turned out great, have fun!
10/27/21 Chicago Pinball Expo Update:
Lit Kit Flippers will be on display at a booth.
The chairman/founder of the expo, got my phone number and called me and said he was very much impressed with the flippers and he wanted to get them at the expo. He offered to fly me in and set me up with a booth.
Charity Auction: check out the Project Pinball silent charity auction to view all the items including a Lit Kit donated to raise funds.
FREE Giveaway: visit the booth at the Chicago Pinball Expo to register for a free giveaway
Can confirm these kits are easy to install and work just fine on the other side of gravity.
Come see it at Pinfest Newcastle
Quoted from Mitoska:Saw them at expo..looked cool. I grabbed a card to see about getting some for Guns N roses, zeplin, Mando, maybe a few others too

Getting ready to install on Ghostbusters Pro today. The quality is beyond what I expected. Can't wait to see them lit up in my game. Instructions were very easy to understand and even had extra install steps for my game.

Depends on the color. If you have Green and green I believe it would look great.
