Hi all,

This has always bugged me:

The single exposed GI lamp, embedded directly into a no-so-thrilling artwork. It just seems so out of place with the rest of the game.

What is needed is some artwork to mask this.

Maybe a plastic that can go over it (it would have to wedge under the ramp somehow), or maybe a better idea would be a decal that can be applied to the ramp. One idea I had was maybe an image of someone tripping up the steps, which would explain the popcorn spilling above.

Optionally, on the Funhouse translite there are some curved steps leading up to the funhouse. I was think that some steps curving to the right might look good on the airball plastic protector mounted on the steps ramp:

What do you think? Does the single exposed GI lamp bother you? Would you be interested in this mod?

I'd buy it if someone made it.

I have a slow fading colorchanging bulb in there. Looks better and doesn't blind ya.

I did the same thing. I also put a color changer near the main ramp where another gi bulb is sort of in the open.

Put a blue condom on the bulb about 12 years ago, has not bothered me since

You could always make a ramp decal matching the image under the ramp. I used a frosted cool one of the not as bright as the current ones, and it's fine.

You could also take it out altogether and do an LED strip under the plastic to the right that would still light it up, but would not be directly visible.

I think the fact that many people have different solutions to this problem means there is a market for a mod. If only I were more skilled in photoshop.

I slip a condom onto ALL LOS (line of sight) GI bulbs on all my games.
Next question?
