Quoted from Keeter:After searching through the forums, I figured this is a more game specific question. I am planning to upgrade to LEDs. I would love to hear what strategies you used and pics if you wouldn't mind. Looking specifically at coloring matching vs ease of just ordering bulk of same bulbs and types of leds used in GI, inserts and pop bumpers. Thanks as always!
The best way on inserts is to raise the playfield, game on, go to single light test, start at the first, flipper button moves to next or previous light. Pen and paper, write down the color lens, type of light. (555 or 44). This makes the color pop. Comet is the cheapest and best led. Flashers test is the same, choose your color, all on this game are 89. GI , frosted 44 are easier on your eyes. White lights it up. The backboard has 10, 44 lights, red or blue are good choices, white will be too bright, hard on the eyes. The third flipper can get blue, blue plastic. Green plastic can get green, gives you more color. Look on this thread at gallery pictures for ideas. You will see mine, I changed the backboard to blue, not as striking. On Comet,go to Pops, go with theirs, really lights them up, stay with matching colors.You are creating a beauty,less power, less heat, lasts a long time. I will post a picture, soon.
