Quoted from Pinballer22:Nice, guess I need to spend some more money on LED's! I was wondering if Terry was going to bring on some new LED's...now we just need him to get new flashers that put off light in all directions.
Not only that, but Ablaze line is missing a good GI LED as well. As far as I'm concerned, the only LEDs that I have seen on the market that are suitable replacements are the cointaker warm or cool white frosteds. The transluscent white dome does a FANTASTIC job of throwing light out the sides, and they're just a bit brighter than the normal 44. If I had a single complaint, and I'm really nitpicking here, it would be that the "warm" white is just a little cooler on the color temperature than an incandescent, but it's still a massive improvement over any other LED for GI.
I put the warm whites all up in my Stargate under the PITA-to-get-to areas at the top of the playfield, game looks amazing. I wish I had picked up a hundred of them instead of 20 at TPF.
To be fair, I have and do use Ablaze LEDs for most of my insert applications. Dunno what I'm going to do with STTNG though, there are a ton of sockets that are completely parallel to the playfield to light inserts. I may just try the colored frosted again since they throw so much light out the side!
