Try cutting up a plastic milk jug and see if it defuses the light enough to make a difference.
Try stacking 2 slices also.
Quoted from schudel5:Couldn't you rig something up as a test? I mean, get a 6V power supply and wire up a few 555 or 44 lamps and hold them under the inserts.
Yes, an easy test with an old phone charger wall wart and a #44 bulb and socket.
Same way I test LEDs before I install them in to hard to reach locations, lol
Quoted from CraigC:just cover the led with a slice of milk jug, you know, a high-tech solution.

^ Not a bad idea.
Quoted from CraigC:srry, took me a few seconds to type that up I did this for the speaker panel mod CFTBL moon and starlight sign and it worked well.

Great minds think alike.
I've done it on older Williams SS games where the inserts have no jeweling and you just have the LED blasting into your face.
Quoted from usandthem:It shouldn't really come as no surprise that a knock off isn't going to be as good as the original.
In many ways it's better than the original.
Even car companies that have been in business for a century and have made many millions of autos, will still have bad batches of paint.
Quoted from pintechev:The amount of negativity depresses me. It really does.
That's known as the Pinside Effect.
No matter what problem is found, Pinside focuses on it like the world depends on it.

Quoted from Jenk540i:My MM (original) is all LED, and has the comet 2835 twin SMD (very bright) sunlight bulbs under those inserts, and they look perfectly fine, no washout whatsoever.
We need pictures !
